About the water softening system.

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

For emergency needs, hard water is available to the

home during the regeneration cycles.

However, you

should avoid using HOT water because the water heater

will fill with the hard water.

Automatic Hard Water Bypass During Regeneration

When the water softening system is providing soft

water, it is called “Service.” During service, hard

water flows from the house main water pipe into the

water softening system. Inside the water softening

system resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of

tiny, plastic resin beads. As hard water passes

through the bed, each bead attracts and holds the

hardness minerals. This is called ion-exchanging. It is

much like a magnet attracting and holding metals.

Water without the hardness minerals (soft water)

flows from the water softening system and to the

house pipes.

After a period of time, the resin beads become

coated with hardness minerals and they have to be

cleaned. This cleaning is called regeneration, or

recharge. Regeneration is started at 2:00 AM (factory

setting) by the water softening system timer, and

consists of five stages or cycles. These are

FILL,

BRINING, BRINE RINSE, BACKWASH

and

FAST RINSE

Service

Salt dissolved in water is called brine. Brine is needed

to clean the hardness minerals from the resin beads.

To make the brine, water flows into the salt storage

area during the fill stage as shown.
