Operation
With the softener in service position and brine tank at
the predetermined upper level, line pressure is directed
to the upper chamber of the diaphragm valve. This
closes the valve. The lower chamber of the valve is
vented to atmosphere through the pilot control.
With the softener in brine position, the vacuum created
by the action of the ejector is transferred through the
pilot control to the upper chamber of the diaphragm
valve. The valve opens to allow brine to be withdrawn
from the brine tank.
When the predetermined amount of brine has been
withdrawn, the float contacts the lower float stop. The
weight of the float will cause the lever arm to rotate to
the down position. The vacuum is transferred to the
lower chamber. This closes the valve and stops the flow
of brine. The valve remains closed until the fast rinse
cycle occurs.
Description
The AquaMatic Brine Control Valve is a pilot
controlled, hydraulically operated Y-pattern diaphragm
valve. It is controlled by pressure which determines the
upper and lower brine levels in the tank.
The valve will allow a predetermined amount of brine to
be withdrawn and automatically refill with fresh water
through a common line. Refilling is achieved while the
softener is in fast rinse service.
Features
1. Positive opening and closing of valve by combining
vacuum and pressure.
2. Pilot uses fresh water and air for control pressures.
3. Air and drip-tight closure after brining and also
refilling.
4. Completely automatic in the opening and closing
operation of the brine and refill cycles.

thoroughly to remove all chips, scale, and other
foreign matter
2. Valve should be installed with refill flow in the
direction as shown by the arrow on the body of the
valve.
3. The float rod should be installed as shown above.
4. The counterweight should be adjusted to balance
the weight of the float rod.
5. Float is now installed on the float rod. The spacing
between the float stops determines the travel or

Low Pressure Loss ................................The AquaMatic Y-pattern design permits higher flow than other
comparably sized diaphragm operated valves.
Positive Control .....................................Larger diaphragm area compared to seat area permits drip tight
closing without any springs.
Cost Effective ........................................Diaphragm acts as an actuator, eliminating the need for electric
or pneumatic actuators, which minimizes initial investment and
maintenance costs. All internal parts are replaceable without
removing valve from piping.

Stagers
The AquaMatic stager is a motor-driven rotary multiport pilot valve, which is used
to control a set of individual diaphragm valves in a predefined sequence. Stagers
are constructed of durable, non-corroding, self-lubricating material for long and
trouble-free operation. Stagers are driven by an electric motor and are controlled by
AquaMatic programmable controllers or adjustable timers. In the event of a power
failure, AquaMatic brand stagers can be manually advanced through all positions.
The stager functions by pressurizing and venting the control ports, allowing valves to
open and close in a predefined sequence. The control pressure to the stager, either
hydraulic or pneumatic, must be constant and equal to or greater than the line pressure
in the system.
Optional Features
Electrical.........................................................................The stagers can be supplied in a NEMA-rated
enclosure or without enclosure and can be
supplied with a maximum of two extra auxiliary
cams and switches (SPDT) for electrical
outputs in any position. All stagers are available
for use in 120VAC, 220VAC, 12VAC and 24VAC
configurations.
Hydraulic/Pneumatic......................................................Standard stagers are designed to operate
normally open (pressure to close) valves.
Optional stagers can be supplied with an
inverted program to operate normally closed
(pressure to open) valves.

The AquaMatic diaphragm valve pioneered the industrial water treatment industry
for over 45 years. Integral in any valve nest system, the AquaMatic valve set the
standard for simple, well-designed and reliable performance. Valve nests surpass
large multiport valves in many ways, giving you greater application flexibility, superior
flow rate performance and significant cost savings in most cases. Valve nests have
been an industry-staple for many years, and now GE makes it easy to specify, quote
and build an AquaMatic valve nest system. The new Easy Nest Kits simplify a valve
nest down to two part numbers (valving and stager controller). Gone are the days
of specifying multiple valves, stagers and controls. Now, all you need to do is know
your tank size, flow rate and piping size to easily specify and quote a valve nest kit.
The Easy Nest Kits include:
The ability to quickly and easily specify, quote and engineer a complete valve nest
system in minutes.
A competitively priced valve nest system, using simplified and proven configurations
of valves and layouts.
Less paperwork and engineering time with each valve nest built.
A convenient way to enter into the high-profit market of industrial water treatment
systems.
No-hassle selection documentation for specifying, engineering and building the valve
nest system.
Service flow rates from 80 to 1300 gpm (18 m 3/h - 295 m 3/h).*
Easy Nest Kits come with: diaphragm valves, control, pilot tubing, tubing fittings for the
valves, injector (for softener system) and suggested application drawings for assembly
of the unit.
Open the door to a whole new spectrum of tank sizes that you may have never
previously tried. The AquaMatic Easy Nest Kits give you opportunities to seek new
business that will result in a very healthy bottom line.
*Flow rates shown are valve only, not the completed system.
Operation
Water Distribution The Easy Nest Kit configuration eliminates the need
for a center distributor tube resulting in:
Improved distribution of service, backwash and regenerant flows.
Design Benefits
The Easy Nest Kits by virtue of their design simplify service
procedures, reducing maintenance costs:
All AquaMatic valving is mounted away from the tank opening to
provide quick access for media servicing.
Aquamatic valves are plainly visible and accessible for quick servicing.
Easy Nest Kits use Autotrol controls, which are widely used in the water treatment industry.
962 electronic controller assembly allows retrieval of historical data (peak water usage, total water used,
daily averages, etc.)
Easy Nest Kits provide a straightforward approach to water treatment, by incorporating the flexibility of
Autotrol controllers and the robust design of the AquaMatic valves into a simple and effective valve nest.

Selection of the stager and valve nest kit can be done with two part numbers. The part numbers for the
stagers can be found on page 4 of this specification sheet. The valve nest kit part numbers can be found
on page 3 (softeners) and page 4 (filters.) Backwash flow controls, brine valves, and water meters are not
included as part of the Easy Nest Kits and must be ordered separately. Below are brief descriptions of the
stagers and valves. A raw water bypass option for single tank units is available, but a normally closed
valve must be ordered separately.

Example
Find drawrate for 30% hydrochloric acid at inlet pressure of
60 psi and back pressure of 5 psi for 1" blue code ejector.
From Nozzle Flowrate Table: At 60 psi, Series 542-3
A = Nozzle flowrate = 14.4 gal./min.
C = Draw factor = 0.82
From Specific Gravity Chart: B = S.G. of 30% HCL = 1.14
From Efficiency Table (Fig. 1): D = 5 psi backpressure @ 60psi inlet
pressure = 77%
Drawrate = (14.4) (0.82) (.77) = 7.97 gal./min.

How to Order
1. Select series number based on required pipe size.
2. Add S suffix to series number if socket weld ends desired.
3. Add nozzle size suffix as determined by supply pressure and required
flow (see example).

FLOW CELL
Flow Meters
Features and Benefits
The FLOW CELL flowmeter design takes full advantage of the
dominant features of the orifice and the area-type flowmeters. It
is a reasonably priced, unique flowmeter that is easy to operate,
with simple construction and provides the same accuracy as an
area-type flowmeter.
FLOW CELL is a compact, differential pressure flowmeter that
can be installed directly in the main pipeline regardless of
upward, downward, or horizontal flow direction. It measures the
rate of flow of water and other transparent fluids through piping
up to 20" diameter (other sizes on request), and consists of two
major partsa base socket containing an orifice plate installed in
the main stream and a flow gauge consisting of a float in a
tapered, transparent tube. A strainer is incorporated at the inlet
port of the gauge to filter out material contaminants, and may be
removed for cleaning.
Margin of error is minimal and remains constant across the
entire scale. Accuracy within 2% is obtained at the top of the
scale when measuring fluid with viscosity similar to that of
water. When other fluids are measured, FLOW CELL is accurate
within 2.5%. Most fluids can be measured if their viscosity is similar to water.
Gauge cleaning and maintenance is simplified with the use of a
Checkmatea valve between the base socket and gauge.
By-pass flow through the gauge may be shut off to remove the gauge
without disrupting the main flow.

Principle of Measurement
Total flow rate is obtained by measuring a proportioned
by-pass flow generated by the orifice plate in response
to the main flow velocity. The by-pass flow is directed
through a vertically positioned, transparent tube. As
the fluid flows from the lower to the upper end of the
tube, it raises the float to the level where the tube
opening is large enough to accommodate the by-pass
volume. Gauge markings on the tube are calibrated to
reflect flow capacity of the pipe. The mark
corresponding to the level of the float indicates the
total flow rate.

Construction
FLOW CELL consists of two major componentsa base
socket containing an orifice plate, and a gauge
assembly. The base socket in standard model (metal)
FLOW CELLS of sizes 3/8 through 3/4" are machined
from bronze castings. Base sockets of larger sizes are
machined from ductile cast iron or carbon steel with
stainless steel orifice plates.
The metal components of the standard models gauge
assembly are nickel plated brass and 304 stainless
steel. The strainer cap is acrylic resin, and the
(tapered) metering tube is Pyrex glass. A protective
shield of plexiglass is mounted in front of the metering
tube.
FLOW CELL flowmeters are optionally available in 316
stainless steel or PVC construction. The metering tube
is also available with English or Metric scales for both
water and gas. See Tables 2 and 5 for available gauge
scales. See Table 1 for detailed information concerning
materials of construction.
Mounting
The base socket may be mounted in either vertical or
horizontal position, and the fluid may flow in either
direction. However, the gauge assembly must be
vertical when secured to the base socket.
Model FLTFLOW CELL has a thread mount base
socket and is available in 3/8" through 6" pipe sizes.
Model FLY FLOW CELL has a flange mount base
socket and is available in 1-1/2" through 20" pipe sizes.
Model FLW FLOW CELL (PVC) is available only in
flange mount, and in 3/8" through 6" pipe sizes.

Operating Specifications
Standard model (metal) FLOW CELL flowmeters are
equipped with acrylic strainer caps, Neoprene O-rings,
and are rated at 140F (60C) and a pressure of 150
psi (10 KgF/cm2) maximum. Substitution of an
optional metal strainer cap extends the operating
range to 194F (90C) and 300 psi (20 KgF/cm2)
maximum.
FLOW CELLS made of 316SS have Teflon O-rings and
are rated at 302F (150C) and 300 psi (20 KgF/cm2)
maximum.
All metal FLOW CELLS can be supplied with optional
Teflon O-rings which extends their maximum
temperature to 302F (150C).
Model FLW FLOW CELL (PVC) is rated at 122F
(50C) and 114 psi (8 KgF/cm2) maximum.
Checkmate (optional)
The Checkmate is a special valve that may be
installed between the base socket (or the connecting
block) and the gauge assembly to shut off the flow. It
permits the removal of the gauge for repair or
maintenance without affecting the mainstream. It
also reduces exposure of the metering components to
contamination, and prevents damage from hydraulic
shock in the main line.
There are two types of Checkmates available. The
N type is available in nickel plated brass, and
316SS. It is rated at 140F (60C) and 150 psi (10
KgF/cm2) maximum.
The K type Checkmate is available in nickel plated
brass, 316SS, and PVC. The metal K type
Checkmates are rated at 194F (90C) and 300 psi
(20 KgF/cm2) maximum. Adding optional Teflon

The flow ranges for FLOW CELL air flowmeters are calibrated in SCFM flowing at 68F
and 1 atm pressure or NM3 per hour flowing at 20C and 1 atm pressure. Since air is
a compressible fluid, the actual flow rate will differ from the gauge reading if the air
flowing through the meter is at a different temperature or pressure. The following
equation may be used to correct for gauge readings:
Where:
F = actual flow rate
G = FLOW CELL gauge reading
P1= absolute pressure of air flowing. (absolute pressure = P+1.03 for Kg/cm2 and
P+14.7 for PSI)
P0= absolute pressure of air for which gauge is calibrated. (Std. gauge would
be 14.7 psia or 1.03 KgF/cm2A).
T1 = absolute temperature for air flowing. (absolute temp. = T+273 for C and
T+460 for F)
T0 = absolute temperature of air for which gauge is calibrated. (Std. guage would
be 293 for C and 528 for F).
AquaMatic can supply FLOW CELL flowmeters with gauges that are calibrated to your
specific temperature and pressure conditions. FLOW CELL flowmeters are also
available calibrated for gases other than air.

Memory Retention
During a power outage, critical operating information is
stored in nonvolatile memory. This information includes
the time of day, water usage, all programming data and
the number of days since the last regeneration. When
power is restored, the information is returned to the
microprocessor and operation resumes as if an outage
never occurred. The time of day will be late by the length
of the power outage. The time of day should be reset after
an extended power outage. No other reprogramming is
necessary. An optional backup battery will allow the
control to keep track of time and water usage for up to 8
hours during a power outage. The control will not initiate
a regeneration while on battery backup.
Calendar Override
If the volume of water used has not caused a regeneration,
the 962 Stager can be set to regenerate every one to thirty
days.
Manual Regeneration
A separate REGEN button is provided for manual
regenerations. A double manual regeneration feature is
included that allows back-to-back regenerations.
Programmable Cycles

Program Levels
The Series 962 Stager controls have been designed to
facilitate different levels of programming requirements.
Level I includes program variables that are frequently
referenced by users, operators, installers and service
personnel. They are accessible without the requirement of
codes. Level II includes variables that are most typically
used at the time of installation and initial setup. They are
accessible only with access codes. Level III locations are
used primarily for accessing operation history
information. Level IV locations are used to set the
regeneration days of the week. Level III and IV parameters
also require access codes. Programming levels are further
defined in Tables I, II, and III.

Lock-Out Feature
The lock-out feature may also be used to prevent
regenerations when a signal is present at the lock-out
terminals. Two or more 962 controls can be connected
together (see Figure 2) to prevent one from regenerating
while another is in regeneration. This signal can also come
from external equipment that can provide a dry contact
closure. (CONNECTION MUST BE A DRY CONTACT).

Remote Regeneration
A set of terminals with a programmable delay (P21) are
provided as a standard feature of the 962 control, Figure 6.
This feature allows for a regeneration to be initiated from
a remote location. This feature can also be used to
accommodate a differential pressure switch input or any
dry contact closure from external equipment.
Programmable value P21 is used to monitor this input for
the amount of time that is programmed (in seconds).
P21 is the length of time (in seconds) that the remote input
signal will be ignored before starting a regeneration.
(CONNECTION MUST BE A DRY CONTACT).
