Abstract

1429071 Water softening A J FLECKENSTEIN 1 March 1973 [2 March 1972] 9956/73 Heading B1J [Also in Division F2] A water softening tank 10 has a valve 11 through which hard water can pass from an inlet (not shown) through a space 12 in the valve and an outlet 13 to the tank, softened water passing up a pipe 14, through a space 15 of the valve. An aspirator assembly 16 is connected by a pipe 17 to a brine tank 19 through a valve 18. A control 20 for the valves 11, 18 periodically operates these to regenerate the tank 10, valve 18 allowing brine to flow from tank 19 to tank 10 via aspirator 16, valve 11 then supplying hard water to tank 10 to rinse it first slowly (with valve 18 still open) and then quickly (valve 18 closed), the valve 18 then being reopened and the brine tank recharged with fresh (hard) water through valve 11 before the sequence of events is complete. Control apparatus 20 has a crank for operating valve 11, cams for operating valve 18, and is run by a timing motor.
