MAIN
COMPONENTS
Your
water
treatment
system
is
a
Twin
‐
Alt
point
of
entry
(POE)
system
composed
of
four
components:
A.
The
control
valve
and
computer
assembly
The
fi
berglass
tank
assembly's
including
the
water
treatment
medium
The
brine
tank
assembly
including
safety
fl
oat.
Each
of
these
assemblies
has
a
speci
fi
c
func on
as
described
below:
Control
Valve
Assembly…
Automa cally
monitors
water
usage
pa erns,
ini ates
regenera on
and
moves
the
valve
through
the
steps
of
regenera on.
Media
Tank
Assembly…
A
fi
berglass
vessels,
which
contains
the
water
so ening
media,
in
the
proper
diameter
and
depth
of
the
media
and
evenly
distributes
the
feed
water
throughout
the
media
tank
assembly.
Brine
Tank
Assembly…
A
polyethylene
vessel,
which
is
used
to
dissolve
salt
and
to
hold
the
proper
amount
of
brine
for
the
next
regenera on.
A
brine
valve
keeps
the
control
valve
from
drawing
air
into
the
system.
STEPS
OF
OPERATION
Service
…Hard
water
fl
ows
downward
through
the
water
so ening
resin
where
the
hardness
minerals,
calcium
and
magnesium,
as
well
as
dissolved
iron,
are
removed
from
the
water
and
are
collected
on
the
resin.
The
amount
of
resin
and
the
salt
dosage
gives
resin
a
certain
capacity
for
hardness
and
iron
removal.
Backwash
1
…During
the
cycle
the
water
fl
ows
upward
through
the
resin
bed
and
washes
collected
sediment
or
other
foreign
ma
‐
terial
to
the
drain.
Brine
and
Rinse
…The
brine
solu on
is
drawn
from
the
brine
tank
and
slowly
fl
ows
downward
through
the
resin
collec ng
the
hard
‐
ness
and
iron
as
it
goes.
The
brine
carries
the
hardness
and
iron
with
it
and
rinses
them
to
the
drain.
Backwash
2
…Same
as
backwash
1
above
but
of
slightly
shorter
dura on.
Fast
Rinse
…Water
fl
ows
downward
through
the
resin
and
to
the
drain
carrying
with
it
the
remaining
traces
of
brine.
Brine
Tank
Re
fi
ll
…A
predetermined
volume
of
water
fl
ows
into
the
brine
tank
and
dissolves
a
calculated
amount
of
salt
crea ng
brine
for
the
next
genera on.
This
occurs
at
the
onset
of
the
next
Service
cycle.
Be
sure
that
there
is
always
un
‐
dissolved
salt
remaining.
Since
the
frequency
of
regenera on
is
reasonably
consistent,
a
regular
addi on
of
salt
should
be
sched
‐
uled.
Approximately
6"
‐
8"
of
salt
must
be
in
brine
tank.
In
some
cases
the
installa on
technician
may
decide
a
pre
‐
brine
re
fi
ll
may
be
appropriate.
If
so
brine
re
fi
ll
will
occur
2
hours
prior
to
regenera on
and
will
result
in
minimal
water
in
the
brine
tank
assembly
during
service
posi on.
Total
Regenera on
Time
(Backwash
1
through
Fast
Rinse)
can
be
anywhere
between
57
and
107
minutes
depending
on
se ng
made
for
certain
water
condi ons.
