Timer/switch action allows the motor to turn the ro-
tor & disc to place the valve in BACKWASH. Water
is routed down and out the bottom distributor, up
through the bed, and out the top distributor to the
drain. The fast flow (controlled by a flow plug in the
drain fitting) flushes dirt, sediments and iron depos-
its to the drain.
During FAST RINSE, the rotor & disc is positioned
so water flow enters the mineral tank through the
top distributor, and exits through the bottom dis-
5-6
tributor, to the drain. The fast flow of water down-
ward through the mineral bed flushes any remain-
ing sediments to the drain. The mineral bed is
packed and prepared for return to service.
The timer again energizes the motor to return the
valve to service. As the valve rotates, the position
switch lever drops to open the circuit. The valve re-
mains positioned is service until the timer initiates
the next regeneration.
