SERVICE TECH. INFORMATION

C. 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 and position the valve in FILL. 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.
