Automatic Regeneration with the Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve

The Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve (5600 Timer) is a mechanical control valve that backwashes and regenerates water softeners automatically at set intervals, so that the resin is cleaned with brine. The cationic resin then goes on working more efficiently and the unit renews itself without human intervention.

01Problem & Solution

Resin Saturates Over Time

Problem

Resin That Is Not Renewed Does Not Soften

As cationic resin holds the calcium and magnesium in the water, it becomes saturated. If it is not renewed regularly with brine, softening efficiency falls and limescale problems start again in the plumbing.

Solution

Programmed Automatic Renewal

The Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve starts regeneration itself at the set day interval. The resin is washed with brine, returns to its sodium form and the unit is ready for service again.

02Key Features

Simple, Durable, Automatic

The Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve works trouble-free for a long time thanks to its plain mechanical construction.

Time-Set Regeneration

It starts regeneration automatically at the period set on the day dial.

Automatic Backwash

It backwashes the resin bed, relieving compaction and sending the sediment collected to drain.

Mechanical Piston Construction

Piston, seal and spacer technology gives plain, reliable and long-lasting operation.

1″ Connection Diameter

The inlet and outlet connection diameter is 1″; it suits common domestic and commercial softener tanks.

Spare Part Availability

All spare parts, such as O-ring kits and piston kits, are held by us.

Alternative Valve Options

Where a connection larger than 1″ is needed, digital time-controlled or flow-controlled valve options are offered.

04Applications

Where Is It Used?

The Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve is used in softening systems that regenerate with salt.

  • Domestic Softeners
  • Cabinet Softening Systems
  • Apartment & Detached House Inlets
  • Small Businesses
  • Cafés & Restaurants
  • Valve Renewal / Fault Replacement
  • Places with Regular Water Consumption
  • Installers Who Build Systems

05How It Works

How Does the Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve Work?

  1. The Service Position

    In normal operation the valve passes water through the resin tank; calcium and magnesium are held on the resin.

  2. It Steps In When the Time Comes

    When the period set on the day dial is up, the valve starts the regeneration cycle itself.

  3. Backwash

    Water is fed in the reverse direction to lift the resin bed; the sediment collected is sent out through the drain line.

  4. Brine Draw & Rinse

    Brine drawn from the salt tank renews the resin; a slow rinse and a fast rinse follow.

  5. Refilling the Salt Tank & Return to Service

    Water is taken into the salt tank to prepare the next cycle and the valve returns to the service position.

06Making the Right Choice

Time-Controlled or Flow-Controlled?

When choosing the Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve, the consumption pattern, tank diameter and budget should be assessed.

The Pattern of Consumption

Where water consumption is regular and predictable a time-controlled valve suits; where consumption varies, flow-controlled is more efficient.

Connection Diameter

This valve has a 1″ inlet and outlet; where a larger diameter is needed, different valve models should be preferred.

Water Hardness

The degree of hardness and the amount of resin determine how many days apart the regeneration period is set.

Budget & Ease of Use

The mechanical time-controlled valve is the most widely chosen solution, thanks to its plain construction and affordable cost.

07Maintenance and Use

Notes That Keep It Performing

  • The salt level should be checked regularly; when the salt runs out, regeneration takes place but the resin is not renewed.
  • Clean or refined salt is recommended; salt containing insoluble solids can wear the valve.
  • The O-ring and piston kits are parts that wear over time; they should be renewed when there is a leak or the cycle falters.
  • If the water hardness changes the regeneration period should be reset; the drain line must not be allowed to block.

08Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

What does the Time-Controlled Water Softener Valve do?
It manages the regeneration of a water softener. It backwashes and draws brine automatically at the set day interval to renew the cationic resin, so that the unit maintains its softening efficiency.
Does this valve treat the water?
No. The valve is a control unit; the treatment is done by the resin inside the tank. The valve manages where the water goes in each cycle and so keeps the resin renewed.
How does it differ from a flow-controlled valve?
A time-controlled valve regenerates at the set day interval regardless of consumption. A flow-controlled valve counts the water that has passed and renews only when needed, saving salt and water where consumption varies.
Is it the same as a filter valve?
No. A filter valve only manages backwashing and uses no salt. A softener valve draws brine from the salt tank to regenerate the resin, which is why it has a connection to the brine tank.
How many days apart should regeneration be set?
It is determined by the water hardness, the amount of resin and daily consumption. On hard water and with high consumption the period is shortened; having the hardness measured is recommended for the right setting.

Products in stock ship free anywhere in Türkiye and arrive within 1–3 business days. Items not in stock are supplied to order — the lead time is confirmed to you when the order is approved.

Installation and commissioning

Installation is a service · plumbing is the customer’s responsibility

The system is delivered ready to install; it only needs to be connected to the inlet and outlet lines. If valve setup is required, we provide free support over a video call. Installation and commissioning fall under our service work and are subject to a service fee. Plumbing labour and any pipes, valves and fittings are not included in the price; these items are the customer’s responsibility.

Warranty

Consumable

This product is classed as a consumable or spare part; because its life depends on use, it is not covered by warranty. Faulty or incorrectly shipped items are replaced — just get in touch with us.

Withdrawal and returns

Distance sales agreement

The right of withdrawal and the return terms are set out in detail in the distance sales agreement. Systems that have been installed and commissioned, and made-to-order products, are outside its scope.

Cancellation and return terms

How can we help?

Two different requests, two different forms.

The two forms ask different things: if we are building a new system we ask about your water and capacity; if your existing system needs service we ask for its brand and a photo.
