The PC board powers the motor. The PC board’s two-
prong jack connects wires to the direct current (DC) 
motor. The motor is held in place on the drive bracket 
by a spring-loaded clip and a small bulge in the 
plastic, which fits in one of the slots on the motor 
housing. The motor turns drive gears that drive the 
piston to cycle positions for backwashing, 
regeneration, rinsing, refill or service. The motor is 
fully reversible (turns both ways) and changes 
direction of rotation to change the direction of piston 
motion. The motor is easily replaced if necessary. 
 
There are three drive gears held in place by the drive 
gear cover. All three drive gears are the same size. A 
reflective coating is applied to the gears. As the 
centre drive gear turns a light shines on the coating 
and a light sensing diode determines if a light pulse 
was returned. The PC board counts the pulses and 
determines when to stop driving the motor. 
 

Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston 
and Regenerant Piston 

 
The drive gears turn the main gear of the drive cap 
assembly, which moves the piston. The screw-driven, 
horizontally moving piston stops at specific positions 
to direct the flow of water to backwash, regenerate, 
rinse or refill. The PC board determines the position 
of the piston by counting pulses produced when the 
piston is moved. An optical sensor looking at one of 
the reduction drive gears generates these pulses. 
Each cycle position is defined by a number of pulses. 
The counter is zeroed each time the valve goes to the 
service position. The PC board finds the service 
position by noting the increase in current delivered to 
the motor when the mechanical stop at the service 
position is reached. This method of controlling the 
piston position allows for greater flexibility and 
requires no switches or cams (U.S. Patent 6,444,127). 
 

Spacer Stack Assembly 

 
The spacer stack assembly provides the necessary 
flow passage for water during the different cycles. 
The all-plastic spacer stack assembly (U.S. Patent 
6402944) is a one-piece design which allows the 
stack to be removed using your fingers. 
 
The exterior of the stack is sealed against the body 
bore with self lubricating EPDM o-rings, while the 
interior surface is sealed against the piston using 
slippery self cleaning silicone lip seals. The lip seals 
are clear in colour and have a special slippery coating 
so that the piston does not need to be lubricated. 
 
 
 
 

Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug 
and Injector 

 
The screen, injector and/or injector plug(s) are 
installed under the injector cap in an easy to access 
location on top of the valve. The injector cap contains 
four slots so no water accumulates in the cap. The 
injector cap is designed to be hand tightened. 
 
Under the injector cap there is an easy to clean 
removable screen to prevent fouling of the injector. 
There are two holes under the injector cap labelled 
“DN” and “UP”. The injector is in the “DN” hole and 
the “Up” hole is plugged. 
The injector lets water pass through the pathway. The 
self-priming injector increases the velocity of the 
water, creating a zone of negative pressure that 
draws in the concentrated liquid regenerant sodium 
chloride (brine). The regenerant blends with the 
stream of water which passes through the media to 
regenerate the resin bed. 
 
The injector provides a consistent regenerant/water 
mixture ratio over the entire operating pressure range 
of the control valve. The injector provides good 
performance in a variety of applications. The injector 
fitted has been used to suit a wide range of operating 
pressures. But requires a minimum of 330 kpa to 
function correctly.

Refill Flow Control Assembly or 
Refill Port Plug 

 
The refill flow control assembly consists of a refill flow 
elbow, refill flow control retainer assembly, refill flow 
control, polytube insert and nut assembly. The refill 
flow control retainer fits in the refill elbow. The refill 
flow control retainer houses the refill flow control 
which controls the flow rate when the regenerant tank 
is being refilled. The refill flow control is a flexible 
washer-like part with a small orifice and a precision 
moulded contour that delivers a steady 1.91pm (0.5 
gpm) regenerant tank refill rate at varying inlet 
pressures. Refill is accomplished with treated water.
