How The Salt Miner Can Remove Salt From Water Softener Brine

• The Salt Miner sits between the brine source & the drain – testing has been conducted on brines 5 times saltier than the ocean and has produced water below the drinking water standard of 500 ppm
• The brine goes into “the flash vessel”
• A vacuum is created to lower the boiling point
• Standard 120 AC electrical current is passed through the brine – the higher the salinity level the more conductive the brine optimizing efficiency
• Heat is added causing the water to vaporize “out of the brine”
• The steam rises and is collected as low TDS water in the “condensation chamber”
• The condensation chamber is surrounded by a “bath” of good water that is re-circulated & sprayed on the condensation chamber to cool it thus accelerating the process & lowering operational costs
• When the batch is fully treated the system shuts off & the good water is discharged or re-used & the salt is collected in the “salt bucket”
• The salt bucket is emptied as needed for disposal or recycling
