WS1 & 1.25 Man u al Page 7
For DIR Softeners, there are two options for setting the Gallons Capacity. The Gallons Capacity is automatically calculated if
set to AUTO. Reserve Capacity is automatically estimated based on water usage if AUTO is used. The other option is to set the
Gallons Capacity to a speci c number. If a speci c number is set, reserve capacity is zero, unless the value is manually set (i.e. the
man u fac tur er intentionally sets the gallon capacity number below the calculated capacity of the system).
The WS1 & WS1.25 control valves can also be set to regenerate immediately or at the next regeneration time by changing the
Regeneration Time Option. There are three choices for settings:
1. “NORMAL” means regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time.
2. “on 0” means regeneration will occur when the gallons capacity reaches zero.
3. “NORMAL + on 0” means the regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time unless the gallons capacity reaches zero.
If the gallons capacity reaches zero the regeneration will begin 10 minutes after no water usage.
The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request the manual regeneration at the delayed regeneration
time or to have the regeneration occur immediately:
1. Press and release REGEN. “Regen Today” will ash on the display and the regeneration will occur at the delayed re gen er a tion
time. The user can cancel the request by pressing and releasing REGEN. This method of manually initiating regeneration is not
allowed when the system is set to “on 0”, i.e. to immediately regenerate when the gallon capacity reaches zero.
2. Pressing and holding REGEN for approximately 3 seconds will immediately start the regeneration. The user cannot cancel this
request, except by resetting the control by pressing NEXT and REGEN simultaneously for 3 seconds.
A unique feature of this control valve is the ability to display actual water usage for the last 63 days. The values are initially stored as
“----”. This means the value is unknown. As days pass values are stored as “0” for no ow or the actual number of gallons. The
counting of the gallons starts at the regeneration time. If no regeneration time can be set (i.e. when the valve is set for immediate
regeneration) the counting of gallons starts at 12 a.m. Day 1 is yesterday, day 2 the day before yesterday, etc.
Another unique feature is that the valve automatically calculates a reserve capacity when set up as a softener with “Gallons
Ca pac i ty” set to “AUTO” and the “Regeneration Time Option” set to “Normal” or “Normal + on 0”. The actual reserve capacity
is com pared to the gallons capacity remaining immediately prior to the preset regeneration time. A regeneration will occur if the
actual reserve capacity is less than the gallons capacity remaining. The actual reserve capacity is calculated by using the estimated
reserve capacity and adjusting it up or down for actual usage.
The estimated reserve capacity for a given day of the week is the maximum value stored for the last three non-trivial water usages
(i.e. more than 20 gallons/day) in seven day intervals.
