one bad translation - however small - within a text completely undermines one's confidence in the reliability of the rest

Yes, I understand your point (I did not assess the quality of that translation). Hope you understand mine (the reason why I posted): A distinction between the different varieties is required. And remember: What does not exist, it must be created.

since "Roasted sunflower seeds with salt water" sounds extremely unappetising!

14:55 Mar 15 

Careful! Both products are different, as you can see here (just one example): https://risi.es/es/frutos-secos/pipas
On this web site, the "aguasal" category is translated the following way:
https://www.hellospain.eu/gb/nuts/300-pipas-tostadas-con-agu...
Pipas tostadas con aguasal Roasted sunflower seeds with salt water

Hope this helps.

“Salted Pipes”.

Personally, if I were that way inclined, I’d probably prefer to smoke my pipes!
Sadly, the Salted Pipes on Amazon are “currently unavailable”

...but I think everyone has misunderstood the question, and the distinction between salt water and brine is not relevant - see my answer.

It might be worth noting that brine and salted water are not exact synonyms, although they do overlap

Practice makes perfect, so grab a couple of bags! The 'pipas' we sell are not the ones that have a solid layer of salt on the outside, neither are they the completely unsalted variety. Instead, they are treated with salted water ('aguasal') so that they have a slightly salted flavour on the inside without large salt deposits on the outside.

So looks as if Neil's answer may be best.

What the experts say about this.
I was curious about the ingredients of brine and found out that it happens exactly the same as in the “salmuera” case, it can contain some other flavorings.

What Is Brine Made Of?
The Ingredients of Brine
Brine is primarily composed of two main ingredients:
Salt: The key component of brine is salt, which is typically sodium chloride. Different types of salt can be used, including kosher salt, sea salt, or table salt. The salt is dissolved in water to create the brine solution.
Water: Water serves as the solvent for the salt, allowing it to dissolve and create the brine solution. The quality of the water used can impact the overall flavor and effectiveness of the brine.
Additional Flavorings
While salt and water form the base of brine, additional flavorings can be added to enhance the taste of the solution. Common flavorings include:
Herbs and spices
Sugar or honey
Vinegar or citrus juice
Aromatics such as garlic or onion
These additional ingredients can infuse the brine with complex flavors, which can then be imparted to the food being brined.

https://www.rae.es/drae2001/salmuera
salmuera
(Del lat. sal mŭria).
1. f. Agua cargada de sal.
2. f. Agua que sueltan las cosas saladas.
3. f. Líquido que se prepara con sal y otros condimentos, y se utiliza para conservar carnes, pescados, etc.

Definition no. 3 describes the problem here. "Salmuera" (brine) can have some other ingredients, not just salt and water. Besides, I have never ever heard in my life of sunflower seeds soaked in "salmuera" (a brine solution).
If "brine" can be just understood as a solution of only salt and water, then "brine" is also fine.
