After fill, timer/switch action allows the motor to tum the rotor and disc into

BRINING pos_on. Water flow isdirected to the nozzle. Suction, created by_e

nozzle and venturi, draws brine fromthe salt storage tank and injects it intothe

resin bed via the bottom distributor. Flow continuesout thetop distributorand to

the drain. Hard water is available atthe valveoutlet.

When the brine valve closes to end brine draw, water flow continues inthe same

directions to slowly RINSE brine from the resin bed andto the drain.
