Cycles
Water by-passes your appliance during regeneration to allow iron, sediment, hardness, etc.
to be washed down the drain. After regeneration, the appliance returns to service, providing
your home with treated water.
Regeneration cycles:
1. First up-flow backwash. A rapid up-flow of water flushes out the resin bed and cleans the
sediment filter.
2. Brine. Brine is drawn out of the brine cabinet and up through the media tank, cleaning the
resin bed and releasing accumulated hardness and iron.
3. Slow rinse. A slow up-flow rinse process then flushes out the brine, hardness and iron.
4. Second up-flow backwash. This up-flow backwash flushes out any remaining brine solution
and sediment from cycle 2.
5. Downflow soft water brine refill. Soft water is directed to the brine cabinet to prepare the
brine for the next regeneration sequence.
6. Return to service. Regeneration is complete and the appliance is returned to normal operation.
