Cycles Figure 11 Water by-passes your appliance during regeneration to allow iron and sediment to be washed down the drain. After regeneration, WaterBoss® returns to service, providing your home with filtered water. Regeneration cycles*: 1. First up-flow backwash. A rapid up-flow of water flushes out the media bed. 2. Regeneration. Regenerant is drawn out of the brine cabinet and up through the media tank, cleaning the media bed and releasing accumulated iron and hydrogen sulfide. 3. Slow rinse.
