Bypass valve for a liquid treatment tank

Water softener control and indicating panel

A rotary flow control valve for controlling the cycles of a multicycle liquid treatment apparatus such as a water softener. A pair of rotatable, slotted, circular disks connected to rotate with each other are located in a pair of aligned interconnected cylindrical housings. Rotation of the disks controls the flow of liquid through various paths in the valve. Clamps and clips are provided securing together the parts of the assembled valve.

Rotary flow control valve

A bypass valve for directing a supply flow either through a treatment tank to the distribution system, or for bypassing the treatment tank and directing the supply flow through the valve directly to the distribution system. In the bypass position, the treatment tank may be physically removed from the bypass valve, the bypass valve serving as a disconnect. While in the bypass position, the valve may be actuated to pressurize the treatment tank from the supply flow.
