How a Hydrotech Water Softener Works
Water softeners remove hardness in the water by exchanging particles in the water, or ions. They remove hard ions the
calcium and magnesium in the water by trading it for sodium ions producing soft water. Unlike the calcium and magnesium,
sodium stays dissolved in water and does not form a scale. Sodium also does not interfere with the cleaning action of soaps.
The sodium is released by a charged resin contained in the softener, this resin also traps the calcium and magnesium ions.
Eventually this resin releases all of its sodium and has filled up with other ions, so it then must be regenerated. Regeneration
is accomplished by washing the resin with a salt saturated brine solution that removes the calcium and magnesium while
replenishing the sodium. This is why the softener requires a brine tank and salt.
The water softener can run for days before running out of sodium, and when it does, the sodium is replenished
in only a matter of a few hours.
In normal operation, the Time of Day display will alternate being viewed with the Volume Remaining display. This display will
be in gallons or liters. As treated water is used, the Volume Remaining display will count down from a maximum value to zero
or (---). Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the Set Regeneration Time. Water flow through the valve is
indicated by the Flow Indicator that will flash in direct relationship to flow rate.

Timer Behavior During Regeneration
In regeneration, the control will display a special regeneration display. In this display, the control will show the current
regeneration step abbreviation the valve is advancing to or has reached and the time remaining in that step. The step
abbreviation displayed will flash until the valve has completed driving into this regeneration step position. Once all
regeneration steps have been completed, the valve will return to Service and resume normal operation.
Example Less than 6 minutes

Step Rapid Rinse
Pushing the during a regeneration cycle will immediately advance the valve to the next cycle step position and
resume normal step timing.
Please see the control valve manual for different regeneration step abbreviations.
