Introduction
The Model E1 Control provides sophisticated,
demand-based water conditioning by incorporating a
microprocessor and a water meter to electronically
monitor the amount of water used daily. The control is
factory programmed to regenerate when the volume
throughput setting is reached at a present delayed
time of 2am.
It is recommended to de-rate the throughput setting
by one days general usage to ensure soft water is
available on the day of regeneration. However in
instances where this is not desired the control can be
reprogrammed so that a regeneration can be initiated
immediately on reaching the throughput setting.
The control provides efficient, trouble free, soft water.
The Series WS1-EI valve combines design simplicity
with glass reinforced NORYL* plastic construction to
provide an uncommonly reliable appliance.
If maintenance becomes necessary, the Model WS1-
EI water Conditioner System has the capability for
quick repairs.
NORYL is a trademark of GE Plastics.
Special Features
•
Memory Retention.
During a power outage,
critical operating information in the control's
memory is stored in a special electronic device
called a NOVARAM. This information includes the
time
of
day,
water
usage
amounts,
all
programming data. When power is restored, the
information is returned to the microprocessor and
operation resumes as if an outage never
occurred. The time of day will be late by the
length of the power outage. Because most power
outages are less than one minute in duration, it
may be months or years before the time display
requires resetting. If an outage of one or more
hours occurs, the time of day should be reset but
no other reprogramming is necessary.
•
Design Reliability.
Solid-state electronics assure
many years of trouble-free performance. The
metering system has only one moving part; a
rotating turbine that measures water usage.
•
Time and Capacity Display.
During normal
conditioning operation, the correct time of day
and capacity can be accessed on the display. The
capacity value is the number of cubic metres of
water that the unit can condition before another
regeneration is needed.
•
Flow indicator.
The display can access the
actual flow rate through the system.
•
Throughput and Capacity Setting.
Once the
capacity setting is entered, the information cannot
be lost due to a power outage, so reprogramming
is not necessary.
•
Guest Cycle.
An extra regeneration can be
achieved at any time by pressing the REGEN
button on the front panel. It takes a few minutes
for the regeneration to start. The unit completes
the regeneration in about two hours. This feature
is beneficial when you expect to use more than
the normal amount of water; for example, guest
visits or an extra heavy laundry day. The manual
can be set for immediate regeneration of delayed
regeneration at 2am.
General Conditioner Information
How Your Conditioner Works
In general, your water conditioner works in the follow-
ing manner. Hard water flows into the conditioner and
through the resin bed where calcium and magnesium
hardness minerals are exchange. The conditioned
water flows out of the resin bed into your plumbing
system. After a certain amount of hard water has
passed through the conditioner, the resin cannot
remove any more minerals. This resin state is called
exhaustion and indicates that the resin needs to be
regenerated. The regeneration process restores the
conditioner's ability to soften water. The control
monitors the amount of water that flows through the
conditioner and automatically calculates when to
regenerate the resin bed.
