Control Valve Function and Cycles
of Operation
This glass filled Noryl
1
(or equivalent) fully automatic
Time Clock control valve is designed as the primary
control center to direct and regulate all cycles of a
water softener. The control valve is set to regenerate
as a time clock (passage of a particular number of
days). The control valve is factory set to regenerate
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 (
1
/
2
“)
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.

Manual Initiated Regeneration
The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user
has the option to request the manual regeneration at
the delayed regeneration set time or to have the
regeneration occur immediately:
1.
Delayed
Regeneration : Pressing and
releasing immediately the

will flash towards
regen
on the display and
regeneration will occur at the delayed
regeneration time. The user can cancel this
request by pressing and releasing the

buttons.
2.
Or for
immediate
regeneration : As for
delayed but
Again
Pressing and holding the
▲▼
buttons for approximately 3 seconds will
immediately start the regeneration. The user
cannot cancel this request.
3.
The user can
manually
step through the
regeneration process to check to see that the
valve is functioning correctly by using the

▼
buttons to go to the next step in the
regeneration process ie.:
C1—C0.
Note: manually stepping through a
regeneration quickly will not actually
regenerate the softener but will only check
to see that the relevant steps are being
performed correctly.
The WS1EI control valve consist of the
following components:
1. Drive Assembly
2. Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and
Regenerant Piston.
3. Spacer Stack Assembly.
4. Injector Cap, Screen, Injector.
5. Refill Flow Control Assembly.
6. Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly.
7. Bypass Valve.
8. Installation Fitting Assemblies.
Drive Assembly
The drive assembly consists of the following parts:
•
Drive Bracket.
•
Printed Circuit (PC) Board.
•
Motor
•
Drive Gears
•
Drive Gear Cover
The drive bracket holds the PC board, the motor, the
drive gears and the drive gear cover in place.
The PC board receives and retains information,
displays the information, determines when to
regenerate and initiates regeneration. The display
show different types of information in the initial
system set up, installer display settings, diagnostics or
user display settings.
