  • Page 6 US Water Aquatrol Water Softener | 076-AQT Total Gallons Calculation The US Water Systems Aquatrol valve uses a meter to count the gallons of water being treated through the system. Once the gallons programmed in the unit has been exhausted the system will regenerate.
  • Page 7 How The Water Softener Works The principle behind water softening is simple chemistry. A water softener contains resin beads which hold electrically charged ions. When hard water passes through the softener, calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to the charged resin beads. The result is remov- al of calcium and magnesium ions which produces soft water.
