[. . . ] The resin beads are washed with the strong solution of salt water which is called the brine solution. Since the resin beads prefer calcium and magnesium ions, the slow rinse allows an overwhelming concentration of sodium ions to overpower and force the calcium and magnesium ions off of the resin beads and are then discharged down the drain. Rapid Rinse: The resin bed is rinsed to remove excess brine solution from the tank and the resin beads are then ready to produce soft water again. Hard water enters unit at valve inlet, flows through piston, down center tube, through bottom distributor, and up through the mineral, around the piston and out the drain line. Settling Rinse: Slow rinse of the resin bed. Water flows down through the resin bed up the bottom distributor and out the drain. Brine Tank Refill (Softener Only): Illustration of Water Flowing Through a System Hard water enters unit at valve inlet, flows up through the injector housing, through the brine valve to refill the brine tank. Valve is now delivering soft water to the home. Raw water is refilling the brine tank to make a brine solution for the next regeneration. Regeneration: When the valve is in Regeneration, raw water is being passed to service until rapid rinse is complete. General Residential Checklist & Troubleshooting Adding Salt Ensure that the salt level in the brine tank is always above the water line. Water Pressure Water pressure range of 20-125 psi is required for regeneration valve to operate effectively. Electrical Facilities Existing Plumbing An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Please make sure voltage supply is compatible with unit before installation. Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Replace piping that has heavy lime and/or iron build-up. If piping is clogged with iron, install a separate iron filter unit ahead of the water softener. Location of Softener, Drain & Brine Tank Locate the softener close to a clean working drain and connect according to local plumbing codes. The brine tank should be located within 20 feet of the water softener. Drain cannot be elevated more than 36 inches or exceed 20 feet in length. Bypass Valves Always provide for the installation of a bypass valve if unit is not equipped with one. [. . . ] See "Setting the Time of Day" page.
