Water Pressure: All 3” water softeners require a minimum of 25psi of water pressure for regeneration of water softeners to operate effectively. Electrical Requirements: All 3” water softeners require 24 volt, 60 Hertz continuous current supply (other voltages are available). Make certain the water softeners current supply is always hot and cannot be turned off with another switch.

Water Softener Flow Diagrams: Hard water enters the water softener control valve inlet and flows down through the water softener mineral tank to the bottom water softener distributor. The water softener conditioned water flows up through the distributor tube, around the water softener piston and out of the water softener outlet.

Water Softener Flow Diagrams Continued: Hard water enters the water softener control valve inlet, flows through service adapter piston for the water softener by-pass and up through coupling to water softener regeneration control valve inlet. Water flows continuously through the water softener regeneration control valve piston down the water softener distributor tube through the water softener media around the water softener piston and out the water softener drain.

Water Softener Meter Immediate (1 water softener control valve): During the water softener normal operation the water softener time of day display alternates with the water softener volume remaining display (gallons or m - As treated water is used, the wter softener volume remaining display counts down from the water softener capacity to zero or (---).
Page 15
- A manually forcced water softener regeneration (ECKEY) can only be done on the lead water softener control valve and only if the water softener system is not in regeneration. Water Softener System 7 Alternating (2 valve water softener): During normal water softener operation the time of day display alternates with the water softener volume remaining display (gallons or m ).
