HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION

AUTOMATIC BYPASS

ELECTRONICS

During the brining, brine rinse and backwash cycles of regeneration, hard water goes through the softener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is opened, hard water is there for your needs. However, you should not use HOT water, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water. The softener regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00 AM, (you can change this time... see page 7). In most homes, 2-4 AM is a time when not much water is used, if any.

If you get up early in the morning and you can hear the softener regenerating, change the time setting. Set the recharge start time to 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM (page 7). Then regeneration will start and end that much earlier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened.

Two main parts of the softener￿s electronics are ￿ a WATER METER, and ￿ a COMPUTER.

￿WATER METER 8 The water meter is in the softener valve outlet. As water flows through the meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The computer changes the pulses to a measure in gallons of water.

￿COMPUTER 8 The computer is part of the timer circuit board. It is programmed to know the softener￿s capacity (how many grains of hardness minerals it will take out of the water before a regeneration is needed). When starting the softener, page 7, you set it for the grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of the water.

To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs, the computer uses: (1) water usage from the meter,

(2)hardness setting, (3) softener capacity, and (4) time since the last regeneration. The computer always adjusts this pattern to your water using habits. It works to provide you with soft water for the longest time, at the most efficient salt usage.

Softening capacity is used as hard water goes through the softener and hardness minerals are removed. When the computer determines that only enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as otherwise set), it will schedule a regeneration. RECHARGE TONIGHT displays until the regenera7 tion begins. When the regeneration begins, TO7 NIGHT goes off and RECHARGE NOW flashes during the 2 hour regeneration.
