Additional System Components - Kinetico Commercial Plus Softener Series Owner's Manual

CP Softener Series Owners Manual
Level 6
The final level of the valve is used to direct the normal service path of the water. This can be either downflow
or upflow. Since all regenerations are countercurrent, choosing the service direction also specifies the
regeneration direction. Downflow service is used with standard, non-packed tank systems. For high
efficiency, packed tank systems, upflow service is specified.

valves. This allows the system to be isolated during any service operations. By-pass
valving is not included as a part of the system package.
Main Remote
Resin Tanks
Each system uses two resin tanks. The main tank includes the Kinetico control valve. The secondary tank is
referred to as the remote tank.
Upper Distributor
The distributor prevents channeling of the inlet stream into the top of the resin bed. A
plastic molded distributor is attached to the top of the control valve. The distributor
also prevents resin from backwashing out of the tanks.
Riser Tube
A riser tube is used to connect the lower distributor to the control valve. The riser tube is 1.0" in diameter.
The CP 216s OD riser tube increases to 1.5 inches.
Distributors
The lower distributors are of a slotted hub design. This cone provides for excellent flow distribution through
the resin bed.
Media
High capacity, uniform bead resin is used in the compact commercial softeners. The resin has a capacity of
30,000 grains per cubic foot when regenerated at a brine setting of 15 Ibs.lcubic foot.
Tank Interconnection
Each twin tank system uses a set of inter-connectors to provide a water path from the main control valve to
the remote tank. This interconnecting plumbing is included with the system package. It uses a double O-ring
seal to provide a leak-free connection. A connector link and pins hold the tanks together under pressure.
