In a typical home installation, the water softener is positioned either before or after the storage tank. When the softener is installed after a storage tank the water gets softened and consumers can use it directly without storage. However if the softener is installed before the tank, the water gets softened as well as it gets stored and consumers can use the softened water from the storage tank.
The water softener service mode is based on OBR (volume in ltr). When the pre-set OBR volume gets finished, the water softener automatically changes its mode from service to regeneration. The regeneration starts counting down pre-set time of regeneration until it reaches zero. The softener then returns to the service mode.
The water softener and the pumping - storage tanks sensors are completely separate devices with zero communication between them. Sometimes during regeneration mode, there might be a shortage of water in the supply tank due to insufficient levels of water in the ground water tank. In this situation the pump automatically shuts down while the water softener is continuously counting down its pre-set regeneration time until it reaches zero and then the softener mode will change to service mode. In the actual situation, regeneration does not happen, the resin does get recharged and does not rinse properly so still there is salty and dirty water remains inside the resin tank, So now when the water supply gets started, salty and dirty water from the resin tank comes out to the softened water storage tank.
To address these issues, ORG modified the water softener’s multiport valve by incorporating a low pressure switch input. This modified the multiport valve’s two wires to connect with the (NC) and (C) terminals of the low pressure switch. When there is no water supply to the softeners during the regeneration process, the softener halts the count down timer until it receives water supply. We call this problem solving innovation ‘The BFT Technology’. Due to this BFT technology there is a 100% fully automatic operation, ensuring no entry of dirty and salty water into the soft water storage tank.
BFT technology makes 100% fully automatic operation.
BFT technology prevents the entry of dirty & salty water inside a soft water storage tank. Without a control panel and minimum wiring just an incorporation.
Low pressure switch can make fully automatic and safe operation.
