How Your 5600 MI-DF Water Conditioner Works
Hard water enters your home through the main supply line, enters your water conditioner, and passes down through a bed of ion
exchange resin which softens and filters the water as well. An ion exchange process takes place in which the resin beads capture and
hold calcium and magnesium, the hardness impurities, while the water takes on sodium ions. The soft water then flows up and into your
household water line.
Your meter initiated water conditioner is set by aligning the number of people with the grains of hardness on the program wheel. See
Operating Instructions.
On the days your conditioner regenerates, the resin is automatically recharged by passing a brine solution (salt water) through it. This
reverses the ion exchange process, charging the resin with sodium and freeing the hardness minerals. These minerals and the brine
solution are then flushed away through the drain line followed by a rapid rinse. The resin bed is again ready to soften water. The proper
volume of water is returned to the brine tank to dissolve enough salt for the next regeneration. All this is performed automatically.
