Abstract:
A water conditioning system including a first valve controller adapted to control a first valve to place a first tank into an in service mode, a standby mode, and a regeneration mode, a flow meter adapted to communicate a flow rate value to the first valve controller, and a second valve controller adapted to control a second valve to place a second tank into one of the in service mode, the standby mode, or the regeneration mode, wherein the second valve controller is in communication with the first valve controller and is adapted to place the second tank into the in service mode if the flow rate value is above a threshold flow rate value, and wherein the second valve controller is further adapted to place the second tank into the in service mode if the first tank is depleted, independent of the flow rate value.
Abstract:
A control system for a water treatment apparatus that includes a control valve assembly having a servo chamber in which a stationary port defining signal ports is located. A regeneration control disc sealingly engages and rotates on a planar surface of the port disc and selectively communicates fluid signals to water pressure operated components within the control valve. An electric motor located in a dry chamber is operatively coupled to the regeneration control disc and rotates the disc during a regeneration cycle. An encoder coupled to the control disc monitors its position and movement. A turbine assembly monitors water treated or to be treated and is electronically coupled to a regeneration controller. A sensor emits pulses related to rotation of the usage turbine and communicates these pulses to the controller which uses this information to determine when a regeneration is needed whereupon the drive motor is appropriately energized.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a semi-automatic pressure type water softener including: an ionic resin tank (100) provided with an ionic resin; a regeneration vessel (200), into which a regenerant is introduced and which generates reclaimed water filled with the ionic resin; a drain valve (293) provided in the regeneration vessel (200) and configured to discharge residual water to the outside; a water inlet part (400) configured to selectively supply raw water to the ionic resin tank (100) and the regeneration vessel (200); and a timer/ceramic disk conversion valve (300) configured to select any one of a water softening mode, a raw water mode, and a regeneration mode to convert a passage between any two of the water inlet part (400), the ionic resin tank (100), and the regeneration tank (200), wherein the water softener is in the regeneration mode, any one of a first mode and a second mode is selected according to a preset method, wherein the first mode is operated for a preset period of time by the timer/ceramic disk conversion valve 300 such that the raw water is supplied to the regeneration vessel (200) to generate reclaimed water, and wherein in the second mode, the drain valve (293) is opened.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for acid regeneration of ion exchange resins are disclosed. Acid resins designed for use in a variety of cleaning application using a water source use a treated, softened, acidic water source according to the invention. Various methods of using the softened acidic water generated by acid regenerate-able ion exchange resins are disclosed to beneficially reduce spotting, filming and scale buildup on treated surfaces, reduce and/or eliminate the need for polymers, threshold reagents and/or rinse aids, and using protons generated in the acidic water effluent for triggering events useful in various cleaning applications.

Abstract:
A hot-water supply system includes a switching valve (35) which has a bypass circuit which bypasses the water softening device (30) by directly connecting the water supply pipe (P1) and the inlet pipe (P3) of a hot-water supply device to each other, and a control unit (50). The control unit (50) includes a switching valve drive circuit which switches the switching valve (35) to the mode in which water is supplied from the water supply pipe (P1) to the hot-water supply device (1) via the bypass circuit, based on the determination of the timing of salt replenishment, and a display drive circuit which displays intention, in which salt replenishment is needed, on a display portion (51) of a remote controller (RC).
Abstract:
A demand initiated method for regenerating a water softener which operates the softener ion exchange bed over a capacity range in which the resin is most efficiently restored by exposure to brine. The reserve capacity of the softener is adjusted in response to the amount of softening capacity used since the last regeneration, as is the quantity of saturated brine to be used for the next regeneration, which is scheduled when the reserve capacity is exceeded, or the remaining available capacity will not be adequate for expected usage on the next day of the week. The method schedules a regeneration when the amount of exchange capacity of the resin bed used since the last regeneration plus the variation of exchange capacity used on the next day plus the average exchange capacity of the resin bed used on the next day is greater than the selected design exchange capacity.
