Brine Draw / Slow Rinse Position Section 7.5
The brine draw / slow rinse is actually two cycles that occur even though the control
valve piston does not move during this time. The brine valve is open during these cycles.
The first part of the cycle is the brine draw. Water from the valve flows through the
through the injector, (or aspirator), assembly. This water flow creates a vacuum which
results in drawing in a brine solution from the brine tank. This mixed water / brine solution
then flows through the media bed and out to drain.
For a “down flow” unit, the brine enters from the top of the unit, DOWN through the
media bed, into the hub and laterals, up the riser tube & out to drain. This is position #9 on
the dial.
