POSITION
After fill, timer/switch action allows the motor to turn the rotor and disc into BRINING position.
Water flow is directed to the nozzle. Suction, created by the nozzle and venturi, draws brine from the
salt storage tank and injects it into the resin bed via the bottom distributor. Flow continues out the top
distributor and to the drain. Hard water is available at the valve outlet.
When the brine valve closes to end brine draw, water flow continues in the same directions to slowly
RINSE brine from the resin bed and to the drain.

BACKWASH CYCLE
• flow plug
drain
Timer/switch action again allows the motor to turn the
rotor & disc to place the valve in BACKWASH, stopping
water flow to the nozzle. Water is routed down and out
the bottom distributor, up through the bed, and out the
top distributor to the drain. The fast flow (controlled by a
flow plug in the drain fitting) flushes dirt, sediments,
iron deposits, remainingbrine and hardness to the drain.
