A well (12) outside of a brine tank (10) is provided which provides better
accessibility to the brine refill valve (112) or other components within
the well. Also, apertures (42 48) of differing elevations above the
bottom of the brine tank can communicate between the brine tank and the
well (12). Selected ones of the apertures can be plugged to select the
quantity of water which can be removed and refilled in the brine tank.
