Product Overview
The Powerline PRO Softener system is designed for applications with levels of
hardness <100 gpg and levels of iron <10 ppm. For applications with greater levels
of hardness or iron, a duplex unit is recommended.
The Powerline PRO Softener is available in four (4) tank sizes and two
regeneration control options; timered or metered. These options allow the ideal
configuration to be used for your application.
Mechanical Timered Valve: This system control will regenerate your softener
on a given day of the week. Each PowerLine Softener is designed with a 12 day
timer. Set-up is simple, with each day independently selected to start
regeneration. If the skipper wheel (day of the week wheel) is programmed to
regenerate, then the unit will start a regeneration at 2:00 am on that day.
Electrical Metered Valve: The metered systems provide improved efficiency over
timer configurations, as these units regenerate based on the actual water used.
The integrated system meter tracks the volume of water processed, and after
the setpoint has been achieved and the unit's regeneration time is met (2:00
am), regeneration will start.
System Cycles
The water softener provides a Regeneration process whereby brine solution enters the
mineral tank, driving-off the collected hardness ions and replenishes the surface of the
resin beads with more sodium ions. This process is automatically initiated by the control
valve on the mineral tank. The regeneration process has five basic cycles as follows:
Backwash
The control valve directs the water flow in a reverse direction through the mineral tank,
separating the resin beads and flushing any accumulated particles to a waste drain.
Brine & Rinse
In the first part of this cycle, the control valve directs brine solution downward
through the mineral tank, driving-off collected hardness ions and replenishing the
resin beads with sodium ions. The second part of the cycle rinses hardness ions and
excess brine from the mineral tank to the waste drain.
Rapid Rinse
(Does NOT apply to Mechanical Timered Valve)
The control valve directs water flow downward, settling and recompacting the resin bed.
Brine Refill
The control valve directs fresh water into the salt compartment to create new brine
solution for the next scheduled regeneration.
Service
This is the normal "operating" cycle where hard water enters the mineral tank, comes
into contact with the resin beads and exchanges hardness ions for sodium ions - the
water then becomes "soft" and ready for use.
