Page 15: An Overview Of The Regeneration Process
An Overview of the Regeneration Process Your RainSoft EC5 Water Conditioner performs a periodic regeneration cycle to clean itself and restore its capacity. How often it regenerates depends on your water use, incoming water hardness, and several other factors, but 1 - 2 times a week is typical. An automatic regeneration will never occur more than once in a day, and is programmed to occur at a time when you are unlikely to be using water (late at night in most cases). - Page 16 CYCLE 2- Brine Make Up/Service After adding water to the brine tank, the valve returns to home posi- tion and waits for two hours. This time is adjustable, but two hours provide the optimum solution. This gives the salt plenty of time to dissolve and ensures that an accurate salt dose is used.
