industry SECRET to Salt & Brine: pricing, equipment, rates and more

What happens here

The VSI Legacy brine maker, priced around $30,000, can produce 2,000-3,000 gallons of brine per hour. For smaller operations or those starting out, the 'Brine Buddy' is available for approximately $8,000, offering similar functionality at a lower production rate (under 1,000 gallons per hour). Making brine in-house significantly reduces costs compared to purchasing pre-made brine. Brine can be stored in large, unregulated tanks at remote locations, allowing quick refills for spray trucks.

Goal: Select the appropriate brine maker for operational needs and understand storage flexibility.
