Abstract
An apparatus for use with a water softening system including an outer bucket, an inner container having a first end, and a plug, where the plug is received within the first end of the inner container for supporting the inner container and allowing brine to be retained within the inner container. A plurality of apertures extend around a periphery of the plug for providing access between the inner container and the outer bucket. An agitator is positioned within the plug for agitating water retained within the outer bucket. The agitation of the water in the outer bucket causes the water to flow through the plurality of recesses to contact the brine forming a mixture able to improve the operation of the water softening system.
Claims13
An apparatus for with a water softening system, the apparatus comprising:
- a. an inner container having at first and second ends and an outer bucket having a closed end and an open end;
- b. a plug received within said first end of said inner container for supporting said inner container within said outer bucket and allowing brine to be retained within said inner container;
- c. a plurality of apertures extending around a periphery of said plug for providing access between said inner container and the outer bucket;
- d. a stanchion having a transverse throughbore extending through a wall thereof and having a base for supporting the stanchion within the outer bucket;
- e. said stanchion including a plurality of threads extending around an outer perimeter thereof and said plug including a central aperture having a thread extending around an inner periphery thereof for rotatively connecting said plug to said stanchion;
- and
- f. an agitator positioned within said plug for agitating water retained within the outer bucket, wherein agitating the water in the outer bucket causes the water to flow through said plurality of apertures to contact said brine forming a mixture able to improve the operation of the water softening system.
