Brine Tank - 125L with Internals 3/8in Brine with E01360 Basket (Autotrol 255 only)

The 10599000048 C2654 is a complete 125L brine tank supplied ready-fitted with its internal brine well, float valve assembly, 3/8" brine line connection and E01360 salt support basket, sized and configured specifically for water softeners running an Autotrol 255 control valve. It's the salt storage and brine-making vessel that sits alongside your softener, holding the salt charge and mixing the saturated brine solution drawn into the resin tank during regeneration. Whether your existing tank has cracked, gone brittle with age, or you're replacing a failed unit on an Autotrol 255 system, this tank arrives with everything needed to get the brine side of the softener working correctly, and is stocked by WrekinWater.

Technical specifications

Symptoms that mean you need this part

• The existing brine tank is cracked, split or leaking brine at the base or seams
• The plastic has gone brittle or discoloured with age and is starting to crumble
• Persistent salt bridging because the internal well or basket is damaged or missing
• You're replacing a failed tank on an Autotrol 255 softener and need a matching 125L unit

Why it fails / why it matters

The brine tank stores your salt charge and, with water metered in via the float valve, dissolves it into a saturated brine solution ready to be drawn into the resin tank during regeneration. The brine well protects the float valve from being buried and jammed by the salt mound, while the E01360 basket supports the salt above the well to help prevent bridging. Years of exposure to salt, moisture and UV light cause the polyethylene body to become brittle and eventually crack or split, and once the tank is compromised it can leak brine, fail to hold water at the correct level, or stop feeding brine into the softener altogether, so replacing the whole tank and internals is the straightforward fix.

Why buy this from WrekinWater

WrekinWater has supplied water softener parts to installers and DIY customers for over 15 years from its Bettisfield, Shropshire base, and stocks the full range of Pentair Fleck, Autotrol, Clack and Kinetico components, including tanks matched to specific control valve platforms like the Autotrol 255. Orders are processed quickly and the business is rated Excellent on Trustpilot, which matters when a failed brine tank leaves your softener unable to regenerate.

How to fit it

1. Isolate the softener at the bypass valve, run a manual regeneration if needed to draw down brine, then disconnect the 3/8" brine line from the old tank
2. Confirm the new tank's internals (brine well, float valve and E01360 basket) are correctly seated before positioning the tank
3. Move the new 125L tank into place, checking it's confirmed for use with your Autotrol 255 control valve
4. Reconnect the 3/8" brine line to the float valve assembly and check the fitting is secure
5. Add the correct salt charge and top up with water to the level specified in the Autotrol 255 installation manual
6. Run a manual regeneration cycle and check the brine draw and float valve operation before leaving the system in service
