Regeneration Process Explained Backwash: Backwash: During the backwash cycle, water enters tank #2 through the center of the distribution tube and flows up- wards in the tank#2 expanding the media bed and carrying any precipitated contaminants trapped within the bed. It then travels to tank #1 through the center of the distribution tube and flow upwards in tank #1 and then out to the drain.
About The System Control Operation During A Power Failure In the event of a power failure, the valve will keep track of the time and day for 48 hours. The programmed settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and will not be lost during a power failure.
Precision Brining Regeneration Process When the system capacity is near exhausted, a regeneration is necessary to restore the sys- tem to full capacity. The table below explains the regeneration steps. Step Name Descrip on A precise calculated amount of fresh water is added to the brine tank to make enough brine to regenerate only the exhausted por on of the ion exchange #1 Brine Making resin. Note: 70% of the required fresh water is added in Step #5 in the previ‐ ous regenera on. The default brine making ...
Manual Bypass In the case of emergency, such as an overflowing brine tank, you can isolate your water softener from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In normal operation the bypass is open with the on/off knobs in line with the inlet and outlet pipes.
