tank #1 and then out to the drain.
Brine Draw: During the brine draw cycle, brine water enters tank #2 through the center of the distribution tube
and flows upwards in the tank #2 regenerating the media bed. It then travels to tank #1 through the center of
the distribution tube and flows upwards in tank #1 and then out to the drain.
Settle Rinse : During the settle rinse cycle, water enters tank #1 down through the bed and up the through the
center of the distribution tube. It then travels to tank #2 down through the bed and up the through the center of
the distribution tube and out to the drain.
