Abstract

A cabinet for enclosing a water softener system, which system includes a free standing resin tank, has a cylindrical brine tank side wall member, mounted on top of a horizontal cabinet base and forming a brine tank therewith. An integrally formed cabinet side wall member having a vertical front wall portion and a pair of vertical side wall portions extending rearwardly from the front wall portion is mounted on top of the base. The cabinet side wall member surrounds the brine tank on at least three sides of the brine tank and the side wall portion extends rearwardly beyond the brine tank by a distance sufficient to enclose substantially on at least three sides the free standing resin tank. A brine tank cover is mounted on top of the cabinet side wall member and defines an opening therein through which salt may be added to the brine tank.
