Introduction

The  Model  E1  Control  provides  sophisticated, 
demand-based  water  conditioning  by  incorporating  a 
microprocessor  and  a  water  meter  to  electronically 
monitor the amount of water used daily. The control is 
factory  programmed  to  regenerate  when  the  volume 
throughput  setting  is  reached  at  a  present  delayed 
time of 2am. 
 
It  is  recommended  to  de-rate  the  throughput  setting 
by  one  days  general  usage  to  ensure  soft  water  is 
available  on  the  day  of  regeneration.  However  in 
instances where this is not desired the control can be 
reprogrammed so that a regeneration can be initiated 
immediately on reaching the throughput setting. 
 
The control provides efficient, trouble free, soft water. 
 
The  Series WS1-EI valve combines design simplicity 
with  glass  reinforced  NORYL*  plastic  construction  to 
provide an uncommonly reliable appliance. 
 
If  maintenance becomes necessary, the Model WS1-
EI  water  Conditioner  System  has  the  capability  for 
quick repairs. 
 
NORYL is a trademark of GE Plastics. 
 

Special Features 

 

 

Memory  Retention. 

During  a  power  outage, 

critical  operating  information  in  the  control's 
memory  is  stored  in  a  special  electronic  device 
called a NOVARAM. This information includes the 
time 

of 

day, 

water 

usage 

amounts, 

all 

programming  data.  When  power  is  restored,  the 
information  is returned to the microprocessor and 
operation  resumes  as  if  an  outage  never 
occurred.  The  time  of  day  will  be  late  by  the 
length  of  the  power  outage.  Because most power 
outages  are  less  than  one  minute  in  duration,  it 
may  be  months  or  years  before  the  time  display 
requires  resetting.  If  an  outage  of  one  or  more 
hours  occurs, the time of day should be reset but 
no other reprogramming is necessary. 

 

Design Reliability. 

Solid-state electronics assure 

many  years  of  trouble-free  performance.  The 
metering  system  has  only  one  moving  part;  a 
rotating turbine that measures water usage. 

 

Time  and  Capacity  Display. 

During  normal 

conditioning  operation,  the  correct  time  of  day  
and capacity can be accessed on the display. The 
capacity  value  is  the  number  of  cubic  metres  of 
water  that  the  unit  can  condition  before  another 
regeneration is needed. 

 

Flow  indicator. 

The  display  can  access  the 

actual flow rate through the system.

 

 

Throughput  and  Capacity  Setting. 

Once  the 

capacity setting is entered, the information cannot                         

be lost due to a power outage, so reprogramming 
is not necessary.

 

 

Guest  Cycle. 

An  extra  regeneration  can  be 

achieved  at  any  time  by  pressing  the  REGEN 
button  on  the  front  panel.  It  takes  a  few  minutes 
for  the  regeneration  to  start.  The  unit  completes 
the  regeneration  in  about  two  hours.  This  feature 
is  beneficial  when  you  expect  to  use  more  than 
the  normal  amount  of  water;  for  example,  guest 
visits or an extra heavy laundry day.  The manual 
can be set for immediate regeneration of delayed 
regeneration at 2am.

 

 

General Conditioner Information 

 

How Your Conditioner Works 

 

In general, your water conditioner works in the follow-
ing manner. Hard water flows into the conditioner and 
through the resin bed where calcium and magnesium 
hardness  minerals  are  exchange.  The  conditioned 
water  flows  out  of  the  resin  bed  into  your  plumbing 
system.  After  a  certain  amount  of  hard  water  has 
passed  through  the  conditioner,  the  resin  cannot 
remove  any  more  minerals.  This  resin  state  is  called 
exhaustion  and  indicates  that  the  resin  needs  to  be 
regenerated.  The  regeneration  process  restores  the 
conditioner's  ability  to  soften  water.  The  control 
monitors  the  amount  of  water  that  flows  through  the 
conditioner  and  automatically  calculates  when  to 
regenerate the resin bed.
