Page 10: Drive Assembly
Page 10 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Drive Assembly The drive assembly consists of the following parts: • Drive Bracket • Printed Circuit (PC) Board • Motor • Drive Gears • Drive Gear Cover The drive bracket holds the PC board, the motor, the drive gears and the drive gear cover in place. The PC board receives and retains information, displays the information, determines when to regenerate and initiates regeneration.
Page 11: Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug And Injector
WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Page 11 Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector The screen, injector and/or injector plug(s) are installed under the injector cap in an easy to access location on top of the valve. The injector cap contains four slots so no water accumulates in the cap. The injector cap is designed to be hand tightened. Under the injector cap there is an easy to clean removable screen to prevent fouling of the injector.
Page 12: Drain Line Flow Control And Fitting Assembly
Page 12 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly is installed in an easy to access reﬁ ll elbow located on top of the control valve. The reﬁ ll ﬂ ow control assembly is attached to the control valve with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow to rotate 270 degrees so the outlet can be orientated towards the regenerant tank.
Page 13: Mixing Valve
WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Page 13 Water Meter or Meter Plug The water meter is installed on the outlet side of the control valve. The water meter uses a turbine to measure gallons of treated water. The turbine rotates with the ﬂ ow of water and reports its rate of rotation through Hall effect circuitry to the printed circuit (PC) board.
Page 14: Bypass Valve
Page 14 WS1CS & WS1.25CS Manual Bypass Valve The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The WS1 bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to its versatility and state of the art design features.
