5C. WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE
SERVICE CYCLE
Hard water enters the valve inlet port. Internal valve porting routes the
water down and out the top distributor, into the resin tank. Hard water is
softened as it passes through the resin bed, then enters the bottom
distributor. Soft water flows back into the valve and out the valve outlet, to
the house soft water pipes.
FILL CYCLE
To begin a regeneration, the electronic timer energizes the circuit to the valve
motor. The valve motor rotates the rotor & disc, and the valve cam until the
position switch lever drops to open the motor circuit when the valve in FILL
position. As the rotor and disc rotates, the port opens for SOFT water fill
through the venturi. Fill flow continues to the brine valve, and into the salt
storage tank. Soft water is still available to the house lines.
