After fill, timer/switch action allows the motor to turn the rotor and disc into BRINING position.

Water flow is directed to the nozzle. Suction, created by the nozzle and venturi, draws brine from

the salt storage tank and injects it into the resin bed via the bottom distributor. Flow continues out

the top distributor and to the drain. Unfiltered water is available at the valve outlet.

When the brine valve closes RINSE brine from the resin

to end brine draw, water flow continues in the same directions to slowly bed and to the drain.

BACKWASH CYCLE

ROTOR & DISC FLOW PLUG

INLET

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, deposits, remaining brine and

hardness to the drain.
