STEP 4 - BACKWASH:
The motor drives
the valve to end brine rinse and begin
backwash. In backwash, a fast
upward
flow of water, through the resin bed,
flushes remaining hardness minerals,
brine, dirt, sediments, iron deposits, etc.,
from the bed and to the drain. The fast flow
lifts and expands the resin bed for maxi-
mum cleaning.
STEP 5 - FAST RINSE:
After backwash,
valve rotation places the valve in fast rinse.
The continued fast flow of water changes
direction to flow
down
through the resin
bed. Any brine, hardness minerals, etc.,
still at the bottom of the resin bed, are
flushed up the standpipe and out the valve
to the drain. The resin bed is packed by the
fast flow, and prepared for service. The
motor is energized a final time to return the
valve to service position.
