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 lever 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

625.38817, 625.38818 specifications

The Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 are two top-tier water softeners that stand out in their category for their innovative features and reliable performance. Both models effectively address hard water issues, which can cause scale build-up in pipes and on fixtures, leading to diminished appliance efficiency and lifespan.

One of the main features of the Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 is their efficient ion-exchange technology. This process utilizes sodium ions to replace the hard minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, present in the water supply. As a result, users experience softer water that is gentler on their skin and hair, as well as improved soap and detergent performance when washing clothes or dishes.

Another notable characteristic of these models is their capacity. The 625.38817 features a 30,000-grain capacity, while the 625.38818 offers an even larger 40,000-grain capacity. This allows households with different water usage levels to find an appropriate fit. The larger capacity model is particularly well-suited for bigger families or those who frequently use large amounts of water.

Both models also come with a demand-initiated regeneration system. This technology ensures that the water softener only regenerates when necessary, based on the actual water usage. This feature not only conserves water and salt but also enhances the overall efficiency of the system, reducing operating costs.

Additionally, the digital control panel on both models makes it easy to monitor settings and adjust them as needed. Users can accurately track their remaining salt levels and receive alerts when it’s time to replenish. The simple interface ensures ease of use for all members of the household, regardless of their technical expertise.

The Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 are also designed with robust construction, ensuring long-lasting durability. Their compact design allows for installation in various spaces, making them versatile enough to fit into most homes.

In conclusion, the Kenmore 625.38817 and 625.38818 water softeners offer compelling features, advanced technologies, and remarkable efficiency. With their effective ion-exchange systems, demand-initiated regeneration, and user-friendly controls, these models provide practical solutions for homeowners looking to tackle hard water issues without compromising on quality or convenience.
