B. SOFT WATER SERVICE and REGENERATION

[] BRINING: During brining, the brine is moved

from the salt storage area, into the resin tank. Inside

the resin tank, brine cleans hardness minerals from

the resin beads and they are discharged out the drain. How much brine is needed to clean the resin

depends on:

- - the amount of service water used between regen- erations,

--the amount of resin in the softener,

- -how fast the brine goes through the bed.

The nozzle and venturi (FIG. 7) make suction to take brine from the salt tank and put it into the resin tank. They keep the brine flow down to a very slow rate to get the best resin cleaning with the least salt.

[] BRINE RINSE: After all of the brine is moved into the resin tank, the brine valve closes. Water

keeps flowing the same way it did during brining

except the brine flow has stopped. Hardness miner- als and brine flush from the resin tank to the drain.

Brining and brine rinse together vary in the length of time they take, relative to the fill cycle length.

_'_ FAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast

flow of water down through the resin tank. The fast flow packs the resin bed and gets it ready for return to service (FIG. 9).

After fast rinse, the softener returns to service. Hard water goes into the resin tank where the resin bed

again takes out the hardness minerals. Soft water goes to the house soft water pipes.

625.38815, 625.38816 specifications

The Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 are two innovative models of air purifiers that showcase Kenmore’s commitment to providing clean air solutions for homes. These models are engineered to enhance indoor air quality by effectively capturing and eliminating airborne pollutants, allergens, and odors.

One of the standout features of the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 is their advanced multi-stage filtration system. Both models utilize a HEPA filter that is capable of capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This feature is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and those with respiratory issues, as it significantly reduces the presence of irritants in the air.

In addition to the HEPA filter, these models are equipped with activated carbon filters that target and neutralize household odors, such as cooking smells and pet odors. This dual filtration approach ensures not only cleaner air but also a fresher living environment.

Both the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 boast a user-friendly digital display that allows for easy monitoring and control of air quality. The intuitive interface enables users to adjust fan speeds, set timers, and check filter replacement indicators with ease. The air purifiers also feature an automatic mode that adjusts fan speed based on the air quality detected through integrated sensors, providing optimal performance without constant manual intervention.

Another key characteristic of these models is their quiet operation. They are designed to run quietly, making them suitable for use in bedrooms and living spaces without causing disturbances. This silent performance does not compromise their effectiveness, and users can enjoy cleaner air while maintaining a peaceful environment.

Energy efficiency is an important consideration for any home appliance, and the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 models are no exception. Both units are ENERGY STAR certified, ensuring that they consume minimal energy while providing powerful air purification.

In conclusion, the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 air purifiers stand out for their robust filtration capabilities, user-friendly features, silent operation, and energy-efficient design.
