to valve outlet
During FAST RINSE, the rotor & disc is positioned so water flow enters the
resin tank through the top distributor, and exits through the bottom
distributor, to the drain.
The electronic 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 remains positioned in service until the electronic timer
initiates the next regeneration.
