PERATION
Kinetico Water Conditioners use a twin tank design to assure that treated water is
always available. When one tank regenerates, the other supplies treated water. The
Kinetico Valve, controls when each tank is in service, when each tank must be
regenerated and the regeneration of each tank. Two sizes of valve are available, the
Mach 1000 and Mach 1250 valves. Mach 1250 valves are used with the CP Series.
Level One Operation
Level One assembly consists of three chambers: inlet, outlet and regeneration
chambers.
Hard water enters the inlet chamber and travels to the media tank where it is treated.
Treated water moves from the media tank to the outlet chamber. Contained in the
outlet chamber is a water meter turbine, which turns only when water is used. Gears
connect the water meter turbine to the water meter disc. The system’s meter gearing
is defined as the volume of processed water needed to turn the water meter disc
360º.
Flow Nozzle
Accuracy and range of the flow meter will depend on the nozzle used with the
system. Most units incorporate the half louver nozzle. This nozzle gives will a highly
accurate and wide range of flow metering capability. If an alternative nozzle is used,
a different meter volume per 360º on the water meter will result. To estimate this
new volume, use the Meter Ratio Multiplier to determine new volume. The Half
Louver Nozzle is standard with all CC Ssytems.
