minerals from the resin beads. The hardness minerals, and brine are
discharged to the drain. The nozzle and venturi create a suction to move the
brine, maintaining a very slow rate to get the best resin cleaning with the least
salt.
o BRINE RINSE: After a pre--measured amount of brine is used, the brine
valve closes. Water continues to flow in the same path as during brining,
except for the discontinued brine flow. Hardness minerals and brine flush
from the resin tank, to the drain.
o BACKWASH: During backwash, water travels up through the resin tank at a
fast flowrate, flushing accumulated iron, dirt, and sediments from the resin
bed and to the drain.
o FAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water down through the
resin tank. The fast flow flushes brine from the bottom of the tank, and packs
the resin bed. After fast rinse, the softener returns to soft water service.
AUTOMATIC HARD WATER BYPASS DURING REGENERATION
For emergency needs, hard water is available to the home during the regeneration
cycles. However, you should avoid using HOT water because the water heater will refill
with the hard water.
