Service/Operation
Backwash:
Flow reversed to
flush debris from
resin bed to drain.
Regenerant Draw/ Slow
Rinse
:
After one Tank’s Resin Bed is
exhausted, Regenerate is
drawn from Brine Tank
through Brine Line Valve to
Resin Bed. Hardness ions are
then replaced by sodium
ions, preparing Resin for
another treatment cycle. The
Regenerate flows through
resin (at a specific rate) to
exchange ions. Resin is now
‘Regenerated’ and ready for
another cycle.
Fast Rinse :
Removes any residual regenerant from
resin bed. (Water travels through the
resin bed and up the riser tube drain).
Regenerate Fill :
Water is sent to the
Brine Tank to create
regenerant for next
regeneration cycle.
Second Backwash:
Flow reversed to flush
debris from resin bed to
drain.
