Hard water enters the valve inlet port. Internal valve porting routes the

water down and out the top distributor, into the resin tank. Hard water is

softened as it passes through the resin bed, then enters the bottom

distributor. Soft water flows back into the valve and out the valve outlet, to

the house soft water pipes.

To begin a regeneration, the electronic timer energizes the circuit to the valve motor. The valve motor rotates the rotor and disc and the valve cam until the

position switch drops, to open the motor circuit and position the valve in FILL. As the rotor and disc rotates, the port opens for SOFT water fill through

the venturi. Fill flow continues to the brine valve, and into the salt storage

tank. Soft water is still available to the house lines. 5-6
