softening 

control valve

GRP valves with great corrosion resistance, 

operates with 5.5V DC transformed electrical 

power for SPECTRUM 5 

7.5V transformed for SPECTRUM 7 and 12 

valves

•  24 hours control and monitoring with a timer and meter; 

automatically regenerates the media bed once the 

capacity of a pressure vessel expires

•  Cycle Process:

•  In service: Once the water is supplied with correct 

pressure  and  flow,  the  cations  contained  in  hard 

water will be replaced by Na

+

 in regenerants, then the 

softening system will supply softened water through its 

outlet

•  Backwash: When the ion exchange resin has been  

exhausted, the resin bed needs to be regenerated. 

Before the regeneration of the resin bed, a backwash 

step is  necessary for two main purposes; removing the 

residue in the resin bed and loosening the impacted 

resin bed for better regeneration efficiency

•  Rinse: Rinse the resin bed to remove the residual 

regenerant (salt) after the brining step until the water 

from outlet contains no regenerant; rinse could also 

compact the resin bed for a better softening effect.

Refill: Refill the brine tank with water to dissolve salt for 

the next regeneration

Valve Operation Mode

Softener: Standard water softener operation

Regeneration Mode

Volumetric immediate or delayed with electronic timer

Water Hardness can be adjusted

User can adjust the mixing valve to get desired outlet water 

hardness

Distribution 

System

A riser tube and distribution system disperse water evenly 

through the resin bed

Brine Valve 

& Tank

•  High pressure resistance

• 

Prevents the brine tank from overflowing

•  Water and salt mix in the brine tank. Salt will dissolve 

continuously until the water is saturated by salts
