How It Works
This electric valve operates as the central control point in your water softener system, regulating the flow of water through the resin tank during service and regeneration cycles. The built-in PW (Pulse Water) meter monitors water usage and communicates with the valve to initiate regeneration based on actual consumption, ensuring efficient salt and water use.
The valve’s precise actuation mechanism allows it to switch between service, backwash, brine draw, and rinse modes seamlessly, contributing to a smooth water treatment process. Its electronic control interface makes it compatible with modern water softener control heads, enhancing system automation and reliability.
What to Expect
Upon installation, you will notice improved responsiveness in your water softener’s regeneration scheduling, leading to optimized salt and water consumption from day one. In the first few weeks, the valve’s accurate flow regulation helps maintain consistently softened water with minimal fluctuations.
Over time, the durable construction and electronic components reduce the frequency of valve-related maintenance, offering long-term reliability. Regular system checks will ensure the valve continues to operate smoothly, providing dependable water softening performance for years.
