Kinetico Valve Operation
Water Meter Disc
The frequency of regeneration can be adjusted without re-gearing the system. The use of the
water meter disc provides for multiple regenerations per 360

Regeneration Pawls
It is important to realize that there are two regeneration pawls: the regeneration start pawl and
the regeneration drive pawl. The regeneration start pawl advances the control disc enough
to open the regeneration control valve. The water meter and control discs advance together
until the control disc uncovers one of the holes in the ceramic disc located directly beneath
the control disc. This opens the regeneration control valve, which starts regeneration. Once the
valve has opened, the regeneration drive pawl continues to advance the control disc through the
regeneration cycle.
Regeneration Start Pawl
When open, the regeneration control valve allows water to pass through a nozzle where it is directed to the regeneration
turbine in the regeneration chamber. As the regeneration turbine spins, it drives the regeneration drive pawl, which
advances the control disc.

Control Disc
All internal valve positions are controlled by the Control Disc. As the control disc turns, it covers and uncovers holes in
the ceramic disc (located directly below the control disc), sending pressure signals to open and close all internal valves.
The sequence of regeneration and service configuration (alternating or Overdrive) is based on the type of control disc
installed.

Jet Regeneration
During the regeneration, water is used by the valve to control the sequence. For units
equipped with Jet Regeneration, a 0.2 gpm regeneration flow control is used to limit the
amount of water used. In addition to this small flow control, the regeneration nozzle in the
level two, and the regeneration turbine in the level one are also modified to accept these
lower flow rates.
In non-Jet systems, a 0.4 gpm flow control, standard regeneration nozzle and an open
regeneration turbine are used.
The Jet feature is included with all CC Systems.
