Figure 4-13:Water Hardness Mixer Solenoid

Refer to figure 4-12.

With no voltage to Y5

The Valve Pin (Item 5) closes the channel for cabinet ventilation. The non-softened water then flows behind the Valve Pin (Item 5.1), through an opening in the Water Channel (Item 3.2). From here it flows upwards to the Ball Valve (Item 6), where a small proportion of the water passes through a small bypass in the Ball Valve to the Water Reservoir (Item 7), for later use during softener reactivation.

Note

After softener reactivation, the reservoir is filled again by the time the third water intake has taken place.

The majority of the water, blocked by the Ball Valve at the Water Reservoir Inlet, flows through the Water Channel (Item 3.3), to the Water Mixer Outlet and then to the Water Softener, (Item 5). After passing through the Water Softener, the now soft water flows via the Soft Water Intake (Item 12), back into the Water Inlet Mixer. It then flows past the Non-Return Device (Item 9), into the Sump, (Item 13).

With voltage applied to Y5

The Valve Pin is drawn back and a portion of the hard water flows through the hole into the channel (Item 3.1), via the Cabinet Ventilation Port. This mixing of hard water with the soft water allows the wash water hardness to be adjusted more precisely.
