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 and disc and the valve cam until the
position switch lever drops to open the motor circuit, when the valve reaches
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.
