WSP Valve Timer - Brine Capacity

This valve timer from Water Softener Plus controls when your water softener regenerates, managing brine use to keep your water soft. It fits many systems and helps your softener work efficiently without wasting salt or water.

The problem you’re facing

If your water softener regenerates at the wrong time, you might notice your water doesn’t feel consistently soft. Sometimes you may see mineral buildup returning sooner than expected, or you could be using more salt and water than necessary. This can mean more work maintaining the softener and higher running costs.

Why this happens

Your softener relies on a timer or controller to decide when to start its cleaning cycle, called regeneration. If this timing is off, the system either runs too often or not enough. The timer tells the softener when to flush the resin beads with brine, which removes hardness minerals. Without accurate timing, the softener won’t perform well.

What it costs you to leave it

When the regeneration doesn’t happen correctly, your water can get hard again, causing scale buildup on plumbing and appliances. You’ll use more detergent in laundry and soap in cleaning because hard water reduces their effectiveness. Over time, this adds wear and tear to your water heater and other equipment, plus extra time scrubbing stains and mineral deposits.

How this system fixes it

The valve timer acts as the softener’s brain, controlling exactly when the system regenerates. It activates a small injector to pull the right amount of brine solution into the resin tank at just the right time. This process flushes away the hardness minerals trapped in the resin, restoring the softener’s ability to treat your water efficiently.

What this system can handle

This timer works with advanced water softeners that use brine tanks for regeneration. It’s designed to manage systems with up to 1800 brine capacity, making it suitable for typical household setups and some larger demands. The timer ensures your softener regenerates on schedule, avoiding wasted salt or water and keeping your water softness steady. It fits with a wide range of compatible control valves, so it’s versatile across many setups.

What you actually get

The product includes the reliable NXT2 timer paired with a 6C injector. The timer controls the regeneration cycle, and the injector draws the brine solution into the resin tank. This combination manages your softener’s cleaning process without extra hardware bypass parts, simplifying the system.

Is this the right size for you?

This valve timer suits homes or facilities using water softeners with brine systems sized up to 1800 capacity. If your system is smaller or uses a different regeneration method, you might need a different timer or controller designed for that setup. Confirming your softener’s model and brine size will ensure this timer fits properly.

Living with it

Once installed, the timer runs automatically. You’ll need to check your salt levels regularly and occasionally inspect the timer and injector for proper function during routine softener maintenance. There’s no complex upkeep, but like all parts, these components may need replacement over years of use.

What it won’t do

This timer controls regeneration timing but does not filter sediment, remove chlorine, or treat other water issues like iron or bacteria. If you have those problems, you’ll need additional equipment designed for those specific concerns.
