This valve is configured to be used for systems that only require the backwash and rapid rinse cycles. Typical applications are activated carbon filtration, sand filters, acid neutralizers, and other applications that do not require brining cycles. This is not a water softener valve and cannot be used to replace water softener valves. Click here to see the water softening valves that we offer.
