Operating Profile
Softener will remove hardness to less than 1/2 gpg when oper­ated in accordance with the operating instructions. The system includes two tanks. This duplex conguration operates with one tank on-line during service. During regeneration cycles, one tank will provide water to service and to the regenerating tank. A water meter initiates system regeneration. The water meter measures the processed volume and is adjustable. Service ow is up-ow and regeneration ow is down-ow.
Regeneration Control Valve
The regeneration control valve is top mounted (top of media tank), and manufactured from non-corrosive materials. Con­trol valve does not weigh more than four pounds. Control valve provides service and regeneration control for two media tanks. Inlet and outlet ports accept a quick connect, double o-ring sealed adapter. Interconnection between tanks are made through the regeneration valve with a quick connect adapter. Control valve operates using a minimum inlet pressure of 15 psi. Pressure is used to drive all valve functions. No electric hook­up is required. Control valve incorporates four operational cycles including; service, brine draw, slow rinse, and a combined fast rinse and brine rell. Service cycle operates in an up-ow direc­tion. The brine cycle ows down-ow, opposite the service ow, providing a countercurrent regeneration. Control valve contains a xed orice eductor nozzle and self-adjusting backwash ow control. The control valve will prevent the bypass of hard water to service during the regeneration cycle.

Brine System
A combination salt storage and brine production tank is manu­factured of corrosion resistant, plastic. The brine tank has a chamber to house the brine valve assembly. The brine oat assembly allows for adjustable salt settings and provides for a shut-off to the brine rell. The brine tank includes a safety over­ow connection to be plumbed to a suitable drain.
Salt Alarm
Salt alarm consists of an alarm box and a brine sensor. Brine sensor is mounted internally on the grid plate and operates on the specic gravity of proper brine concentration. An alarm condition is triggered when the concentration falls below ac­ceptable level for more than 15 minutes. The alarm is both an 80-db audible alarm every 3 seconds and a red LED ash every 7 seconds. The alarm box operates on three AA batteries and connects to the brine sensor with a standard 2-wire phone cord
(7' phone cord supplied).

Media Tanks
The tanks are designed for a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and hydrostatically tested at 300 psi. Tanks are made of en­gineered plastic with a 2.5 in. threaded top opening. Each tank is NSF approved. Upper distribution system is of a slot design. Lower distribution system is of a at plate design. Distributors will provide even ow of regeneration water and the collection of processed water.
Conditioning Media
Each softener will include uniform bead cation resin having a minimum exchange capacity of 30,000 grains/ft when regener­ated with 15.0 lbs/ft. The media is solid, of a proper particle size and contains no plates, shells, agglomerates or other shapes, which might interfere with the normal function of the water softener.
