For DIR Softeners, there are two options for setting the Gallons Capacity. The Gallons Capacity is automatically calculated if set to AUTO. Reserve
Capacity is automatically estimated based on water usage if AUTO is used. The other option is to set the Gallons Capacity to a specifi c number. If a specifi c
number is set, reserve capacity is zero, unless the value is manually set (i.e. the manufacturer intentionally sets the gallon capacity number below the
calculated capacity of the system).
If the system is set up as a prefi ll upfl ow softener the control valve can also be set to normal or proportional brining. If proportional brining is selected, the
actual salt level fi ll will be calculated by dividing the actual volume treated by the calculated volumetric capacity, then multiplying the salt level fi ll selected
by this percentage.
The control valve can also be set to regenerate immediately or at the next regeneration time by changing the Regeneration Time Option. There are three
choices for settings:
1.
“NORMAL” means regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time.
2. “on 0” means regeneration will occur when the gallons capacity reaches zero.
3. “NORMAL” and “on 0” means the regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time unless the gallons capacity reaches zero. If the gallons
capacity reaches zero the regeneration will begin 10 minutes after no water usage.
The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request the manual regeneration at the delayed regeneration time or to have the
regeneration occur immediately:
1.
Pressing and releasing the REGEN button. “Regen Today” will fl ash on the display and the regeneration will occur at the delayed regeneration time.
The user can cancel the request by pressing and releasing the REGEN button. This method of manually initiating regeneration is not allowed when the
system is set to “on 0”, i.e. to immediately regenerate when the gallon capacity reaches zero.
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.
The WS1HR & WS1.25HR control valves consist of the following components:
1.
Drive Assembly 6. Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly
2. Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston 7. Water Meter or Meter Plug
3. Spacer Stack Assembly 8. Mixing Valve (optional)
4. Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector 9. Installation Fitting Assemblies
5. Refi ll Flow Control Assembly or Refi ll Port Plug 10. Bypass Valve (optional)
Note: The WS1HR & WS1.25HR share many of the same components. Refer to Figure 6 for control valve identifi cation.

See Installer Display Settings, OEM Softener System Setup and OEM Filter System Setup for explanations of Day Override and Gallon Capacity.
3
Day Override and Gallon Capacity can not both be set to “oFF” at the same time.
The control valve with a water meter can be set for Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) only, Time Clock operation only or DIR and Time Clock
which ever comes fi rst, depending upon what settings are selected for Day Override and Gallon Capacity.

See Table 5.
If a control valve does not contain a meter, the valve can only act as a time clock, and day override should be set to any number and gallon capacity
should be set to off.
