System Operation In Service (System 14-Demand Recall) - Pentair 3200 NXT Service Manual

SYSTEM OPERATION IN SERVICE
(SYSTEM 14-DEMAND RECALL)
The system operates as part of a multi-valve regeneration
system.
Each valve in the system will have an active flow meter input,
even in Standby.
The number of valves in service depends on the flow rate.
Examples of a Four-Unit System:
1. One Valve is in service at all times (the "primary valve").
1
In Service
(Primary Tank)
2. The total flow rate to the primary valve increased past
the first trip point programmed rate. The flow stayed past
the trip point delayed time. The next valve (least volume
remaining) changes from Standby to In Service. This valve
then splits the total flow between two meters.

3. The flow rate demand decreased below the first trip point.
The valve returns to Standby.

4. Total flow rate demand increased past a second trip point
programmed rate. The second and third valve (least volume
remaining) changes from Standby to In Service. The total
flow is split between the three meters.

6. Valves return to stand by due to decreased total flow rate
and trip points programmed. The valve with the most
remaining volume will be the first to go into Standby.

7. The primary valve regenerates. The next valve with the
least remaining volume becomes the new primary valve.
The valve with the next least volume remaining will be the
first trip point programmed rate. Valves continue operating
in this order.

If two valves are In Service and both reach
Volume Remaining = 0, the other two valves will shift from
Standby to In Service. The lead valve with
Volume Remaining = 0 will start regeneration. The second
valve with Volume Remaining = 0 will enter Standby. If flow
increases past the trip point a third valve needs to enter In
Service. The valve in Standby with Volume Remaining = 0 will
shift into In Service to maintain a steady flow. Operating for
extended periods in this mode may degrade the water quality.
