and momentarily press the
REGEN
button to advance the control to the “
REGENERANT DRAW
” position.
4.
The bypass is now in the diagnostic mode (
). Check to verify that water is being drawn from regenerant brine
tank with no air leaks or bubbles in the brine line. There should be a slow flow to the drain.
5.
Momentarily press
REGEN
again until the display reads “
RINSE
”. There should be a rapid flow to the drain. Unplug
transformer to keep the valve in the “

3.3.2 Water Conditioner Flow Diagrams:
C A U T I O N
If water flows too rapidly there will be a loss of media to the drain.
1
• SERVICE
POSITION
: Raw
water enters control head
and flows down through the
Zeolite mineral, removing
hardness and iron
(neutralizing acidic water
conditions on SE1 models).
2
•
Raw water enters control
head and flows into lower
distributor upward through
mineral bed and out to drain,
lifting and cleaning turbid
particles from Zeolite bed.
3
• BRINE RINSE POSITION
:
Raw water enters control
head flowing through the
injector, drawing brine from
the brine tank.
Microprocessor turns on the
chlorine generator allowing
brine and chlorine to flow
through the Zeolite mineral,
sanitizing and regenerating
the water conditioner.
4
• SLOW
RINSE
POSITION
:
Chlorine generator is turned
off, raw water enters control
head and flows down through
the Zeolite mineral, rinsing
chlorine and brine to drain.
