Brine Valve

Abstract

A brine valve includes a housing having a first port, a second port, and a piston port. The piston port is fitted with a non-apertured water-sealing diaphragm. An external piston has a first end and a second end. The external piston second end pushes against the diaphragm. An apertured cap affixes over the piston port to retain the external piston in place. The external piston first end extends outside of the apertured cap. An internal piston is disposed within the housing and has a first end and a second end. The internal piston first end pushes against the diaphragm and against the external piston. A seal ring is disposed towards the second end and is fitted to seal the first port. A spring is placed against the internal piston second end. Pushing on the external piston first end moves both pistons to permit water to flow between the housing first and second ports.
