A professional who tends pumps to maintain brine wells at specified levels to ensure adequate salt supply for chemical processes. Respnsibilities include:

• Turns valves and monitors gauges and water-pressure recorders to maintain level and brine strength of wells within prescribed limits, and to reverse flow of flush wells as directed.
• Determines specific gravity of salt water in wells, using hydrometer.
• Determines iodine content of brine, using standard titration test.
• Monitors automatic pump operation and inspects water supply system to detect broken or frozen lines, stoppages, and leaks.
• Records brine strength and pressure in system for operating log.
