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. Unfiltered 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.
ROTOR & DISC
FLOW PLUG
BACKWASH CYCLE
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, deposits, remaining brine and
hardness to the drain.
