Embodiment Construction

[0018] As shown in the drawings, there is shown a preferred embodiment of the present invention by way of illustration and not limitation. figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a tank 10 used as a common water softener component. Tank 10 includes an outer shell 14 . In the preferred embodiment, housing 14 includes an upper hemispherical portion 18 and a lower hemispherical portion 22, which are separate components in sealing engagement with each other. In the preferred embodiment, the upper and lower hemispherical sections 18, 22 are welded together, but other suitable methods may be used to join the upper and lower hemispherical sections 18, 22 together, such as clamping them together or utilizing mechanical means The two hemispherical portions 18, 22 are held together in a tight fit with each other.

[0019] In the housing 14, the tank 10 has an upper cavity 26, a lower cavity 30, a first orifice 34, a second orifice 38 and a third orifice 46, the first orifice 34 allowing...

Abstract

A two-chambered water softener tank (10) with a bidirectional valve (62) for controlling the flow of water between the chamber for use with a water softener is disclosed. The tank includes an outer shell (14), an upper chamber (26) located within the outer shell containing a redox medium (54), a lower chamber (30) located within the outer shell and beneath the upper chamber that contains an ion exchange resin (66), a first port (34) allowing water to flow into the upper chamber, a second port (38) allowing water to flow into the lower chamber, and a third port (46) for allowing water to flow between the upper chamber and lower chamber. The water softener tank also includes a bidirectional valve engageable with the third port for regulating flow of water through the third port from the upper chamber to the lower chamber during service of the water softener and from the lower chamber to the upper chamber during regeneration of the water softener. The bidirectional valve remains open as water flows from the upper chamber to the lower chamber. The bidirectional valve floats upwards to restrict the flow of water through the third port from the lower chamber to the upper chamber during regeneration, thereby creating a high pressure flow of water during the regeneration of the water softener to clean the redox medium, such as KDF.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for softening water, more specifically, the present invention relates to a method and device for softening water with a double-chamber softening water tank and a two-way valve, the double-chamber softening water tank can make water flow from two The two-way valve allows pressurized water to flow into one of the tanks during the water softener regeneration cycle. 【Background technique】 [0002] In the past, water was typically softened using a single chamber tank containing a medium, usually an ion exchange resin. Many water softeners of the past used valves to completely close off the fluid passage. Water softeners with valves are operated mechanically or require spring support. [0003] US5173179 of DeVoe et al. discloses a device for softening water utilizing a plurality of liquid treatment containers. The water circulates in one direction to remove the substances in the water, and then the wa...
