Regeneration Section 7.3
The regeneration procedure is performed automatically by the softener after the cycle
controller is started. Each regeneration cycle consists of four steps. For down flow
regeneration the cycles are #1 backwash, #2 brine draw / slow rinse, #3 fast rinse, and #4
brine tank refill.
Backwash Position Section 7.
During backwash, water is directed down the riser tube, out the bottom hub and
laterals, then upwards through the softener resin and out to drain. This expands the media
bed, releasing any trapped particles, and cleans it thoroughly. The standard backwash
cycle is usually been factory pre-set to take place for 9 or 10 minutes. This is position #7 on
the dial.
