The various valves and floats and such in the brine tank have been a source of unreliability for me, and I was told that all that stuff is really optional, only there as a backup. The controller itself has a check ball to prevent sucking air, so the only other thing is preventing overfill of the brine tank itself. I am currently just using a straight tube in the brine tank, and it works, but I'm suspicious that the system is now putting too much water in there and using up salt too quickly. Should the controller be metering the water precisely, or does it rely on the float/stop in the brine tank to keep too much water from going in?
I have an Autotrol 255/760 controller.
