Thinking On Water With James [30:20]

 

Thinking On Water With James: 

In this week’s episode, we’re thinking about the purpose of the slow and fast rinse of softener regeneration. After the brine draw, why are these two different flowrates of rinse required? Why not just a slow rinse or just a fast rinse? What is being accomplished with each? What is the impact if either step is too long or too short? What is the proper flowrate for each? Can you measure the flowrate? Take this week to think about the purpose of the slow and fast rinse of softener regeneration.
