Water Specialist 1” Control Valve Series Model: WS1CC 1.25” Control Valve Series Model: WS1.25CC Operation and Instruction Manual for OEM Only. Please Note: This operation and instruction manual is for the training of the OEM and for the OEM to use to train their customers. This document is not...
Page 4 WS1CC & WS1.25CC Manual Introduction This manual is about a control valve to be used on water softeners or water fi lters. The manual is designed to aid water treatment equipment manufacturers in the selection of the various control valve options. Information in this manual is different than what is needed for installation and servicing of a particular water treatment system.
The WS1.25CC control valve is only available in downfl ow regeneration. When the WS1CC or WS1.25CC control valve is set up as a fi lter, the control valve can be set to perform downfl ow regeneration or simply backwash.

(U.S. Patent 6444127). One of three main pistons is always used: 1. A 1.25" diameter downfl ow piston is used when the WS1CC control valve is used as a downfl ow softener, regenerating fi lter or non-regenerating fi lter.
• no regenerant WS1CC & WS1.25CC (both the DN and UP holes have injector plugs installed) and plug installed for the refi ll elbow NOTE: It is not recommended to fi eld convert valves from upfl ow to downfl ow and vice versa. Separate areas in the valve supply water to the injector for upfl...
Page 10 WS1CC & WS1.25CC 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.
WS1CC & WS1.25CC Manual Page 11 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 12 WS1CC & WS1.25CC 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.
Page 14 WS1CC & WS1.25CC Manual OEM General Instructions The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modifi ed to suit the needs of the installation. These procedures are: • OEM Cycle Sequence • OEM Softener System Setup •...
