They keep the brine flow down to a very slow rate to get the best rosin cleaning with the least salt.

[] BRINE RINSE: After all of the brine is sucked out of the salt tank, the brine valve closes. Water keeps flowing through the resin tank the same way it did during brining except the brine flow has stopped.

Hardness minerals and bnne flush from the resin tank to the drain. Brining and brine rinse together vary in length of time they take, relative to the fit! cycle length.
