Autotrol Backwash Controller for 14" Tanks – Enhance Water Softener Efficiency and Longevity
When it comes to maintaining optimal performance in your water treatment system, precise control of backwash cycles is essential. The AT1000215 Autotrol Backwash Control is engineered specifically for 14" tanks, delivering reliable and efficient valve operation that keeps your system running smoothly. Designed as a trusted Autotrol valve part, this controller addresses common issues with inconsistent backwashing, protecting your equipment and improving water quality.
Key Benefits
- Ensures consistent backwash timing to prevent resin fouling and improve water softening efficiency.
- Protects your system from sediment buildup and scale formation by optimizing cleaning cycles.
- Durable construction designed to withstand frequent operation without performance loss.
- Compatible with a wide range of Autotrol valve systems, simplifying replacement and upgrades.
- Easy to install and maintain, reducing downtime and service costs.
How It Works
The AT1000215 backwash controller regulates the timing and duration of the backwash cycle in water softener tanks, specifically those sized at 14 inches. By managing the valve's operation, it ensures that the resin bed is thoroughly cleaned at optimal intervals, flushing out trapped minerals and sediments. This process prevents clogging and resin degradation, maintaining the system’s effectiveness over time.
Installed on the Autotrol valve assembly, this control acts as the brain of the backwash function, sending signals to open and close the valve at preset times. This automation replaces manual intervention and reduces the risk of improper backwash schedules, which can lead to poor water quality or hardware damage.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice improved system reliability with consistent backwash cycles tailored to your 14" tank setup. In the first days and weeks, the water softener will operate more efficiently, delivering softer water and reducing mineral buildup. Over time, the controller’s durable design ensures minimal maintenance needs, helping your system maintain peak performance with fewer service interruptions.
Regularly scheduled backwash cycles extend the life of your resin and valve components, reducing the frequency of costly replacements and repairs. This product’s compatibility with standard Autotrol valves means it integrates seamlessly without requiring system overhauls.
What’s Inside
- Precision timing mechanism – Guarantees accurate control of backwash intervals for effective cleaning.
