Service Tech Information

WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE

BACKWASH CYCLE

BACKWASH CYCLE

Timer/switch action again allows the motor to turn the rotor & disc to place the valve in BACKWASH, stopping water flow to the nozzle. 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, iron deposits, remaining brine and hardness to the drain.

FAST RINSE CYCLE

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.
