Depending on the valve type, the fast rinse flow rate is controlled by the DLFC or it has about the
same flow rate as in service. The fast rinse velocity can be the same as the service velocity, and
the volume of water to be used for the fast rinse is generally between 1 and 10 BV depending on
the salt dosage.
T = (N x BV) / Q

To calculate the refill duration:
The refill flow rate is controlled by the refill controller (BLFC). The relation between the BLFC
size, the tank size and the resin volume is given in the valve specifications.
To calculate the refill duration:
T = V / Q

V = D x BV / S

Tip
When calculating the time required to draw the brine, take into account that the volume
of brine [Vbrine] will be 1.125 bigger than the volume of water refilled !
