The following table lists all the operational states along with a brief description of each.
41
Operational State
Description
Automatic
During automatic operation, the module monitors total water processed and automatically performs
any necessary process functions (regeneration, backwash, etc.) based on the configuration settings
for each cell.
Backwash
During backwash, water travels up through the resin tank flushing accumulated iron, dirt and
sediments from the resin bed to the drain.
Brine Draw
During brining, brine travels from the brine tank into the resin tank. Brine is the cleaning agent
needed to remove hard minerals from the resin beads. The hard minerals and brine are discharged
to the drain.
Brine Fill
Water flows into the brine tank and salt is dissolved into water.
Manual
In manual operation mode the user can select the operational state, or force a regeneration, for
each cell.
Normal
During normal operation, water flows downward through the resin bed, is cleaned, and then the
clean water flows up and out through a central core and out to service.
Pulse
A pulse flush is used to prevent ‘channeling’ in certain media beds, like carbon. The module will
perform a series of short upflow pulses to lift and reclassify the media bed.
Rapid Rinse
Rapid rinse flushes brine from the resin tank and packs the resin bed. After rapid rinse, the module
returns to normal water service.
