Control Valve Function and Cycles 
of Operation 

 
This glass filled Noryl

1

 (or equivalent) fully automatic 

control valve is designed as the primary control 
center to direct and regulate all cycles of a water 
softener. The control valve can be set to regenerate 
on demand (consumption of a predetermined amount 
of water) and/or as a time clock (passage of a 
particular number of days). The control valve is 
factory set to regenerate on demand consumption 
with a delay regeneration set for 2am. 
The control valve is compatible with a variety of resin 
cleaners. The control valve is capable of routing the 
flow of water in the necessary paths to regenerate 
water treatment systems. The injector regulates the 
flow of brine. The control valve regulates the flow 
rates for backwashing, rinsing and the replenishing of 
treated water into a regenerant tank. 
 
The control valve uses no traditional fasteners (e.g. 
screws); instead clips, threaded caps, nuts and snap 
type latches are used. Caps and nuts only need to be 
firmly hand tightened because radial seals are used. 
Tools required to service the valve include one small 
blade screw driver, one large blade screw driver, 
pliers and a pair of hands. A plastic wrench is 
available which eliminates the need for screwdrivers 
and pliers. Disassembly for servicing takes much less 
time than comparable products currently on the 
market. Control valve installation is made easy 
because the distributor tube can be cut 12.7mm (

/

“) 

above to 12.7 mm (

1

/

2

“) below the top of tank thread. 

The distributor tube is held in place by an o-ring seal 
and the control valve also has a bayonet lock feature 
for upper distributor baskets. 
 
The AC adapter power pack comes with a 2.0 meter 
power cord and is designed for use with the control 
valve. The AC adapter power pack is for dry location 
use only. 
 

 

Solid state microprocessor with easy access 
front panel settings. 

 

Front panel display for time of day, volume 
remaining, current flow rate and total volume 
used (Totalizer). 

 

Four methods to initiate regeneration; meter 
immediate, meter delayed, time clock 
delayed or pressure differential. 

 

Optional double backwash feature offers 
optimum regeneration cleaning ability and 
efficiency. 

 

Fully adjustable 6-cycle control delivers 
controlled backwash, downflow brining/slow 
rinse, second backwash, fast rinse, refill and 
downflow service. 

 

Downflow regeneration. 

 

12-volt output AC Adapter provides safe and 
easy installation. 

 

Control valve design provides optimum 
service and backwash rates. 

 

Treated water regenerant refill. 

 

Reliable and proven DC Drive. 

 

General Factory set up is for M³ 
throughput regeneration with 2 AM 
delayed regeneration and No second 
Backwash. 

 

Manual Initiated Regeneration 

 

The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user 
has the option to request the manual regeneration at 
the delayed regeneration time of 2am or to have the 
regeneration occur immediately: 

1.  Pressing and releasing immediately the 

REGEN button. “

ƒ

” will flash towards regen 

on the display and regeneration will occur at 
2am the delayed regeneration time. The user 
can cancel the request by pressing and 
releasing the REGEN button. 

2.  Pressing and holding the REGEN button for 

approximately 3 seconds will immediately 
start the regeneration. The user cannot 
cancel this request, except by resetting the 
control by pressing NEXT and REGEN 
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. 

However this may totally clear all 
the pre-programmed in functions 
and is not recommended.
