Step 1: Downflow Conditioning:
Untreated water flows through the filter media where hardness-causing minerals are removed.
Step 2: Upflow Backwash:
The conditioning resin bed is “fluffed” to separate solids from the media.
Step 3: Downflow Brining:
The system injects the exact amount of brine (salt water) made from filtered water needed for full-strength regeneration of the system.
Step 4: Slow Downflow Brine Rinse:
Slow rinsing of the brine through the filter media provides a deep rinsing action to make sure all traces of salt are removed from the media bed.
Step 5: Fast Downflow Rinse:
Fast downflow rinse repacks the media, assuring maximum resin efficiency while removing any salt residue and any remaining traces of rust and iron.
Step 6: Treated Brine Makeup Refill:
TA precise, preset quantity of filtered water is used to make a clean brine solution for regeneration; other brands use raw, unconditioned water to clean the media bed.
