SECTION2 HOW YOUR WATER FILTER WORKS
B. FILTERED WATER, SERVICE AND REGENERATION
BRINE RINSE: After a premeasured amount of
brine is used, the brine valve closes. Water flow
continues as during brining, except for the brine
draw. Tannin particles and brine are flushed from
the resin tank to the drain.
FAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by as fast flow
of water down through the resin tank (page 19).
The fast flow packs the resin bed and gets it ready
for return to service.

through the resin tank at a fast rate to flush iron
minerals, dirt and sediments from the bed and to
the drain. The bed lifts and expands for maximum
cleaning.

During the brining, brine rinse and backwash
cycles of regeneration, unfiltered water goes
through the filter valve and to the house pipes, if a
faucet is opened. However, you should not use
HOT water, if possible, because the water heater
will refill with unfiltered water.
