DISTRIBUTOR
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 electroic timer energizes lhe circuit to lhe 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, lhe port opens for SOFT water fill lhrough the
venmri. Fill flow continues to the brine valve, and into the salt storage tank. Soft water is still available to the house lines.
