SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC WATER DISCHARGE MANAGEMENT
A water discharge management system is provided. The water discharge management system includes a water processing system, a controller provided with an executable recapture protocol, and a plurality of controllable multi-way valves which control and implement a regeneration cycle of the water processing system based upon the recapture protocol. Each controllable multi-way valve is in operable communication with the controller through a signal path. The controllable multi-way valves are responsive to a signal exchanged with the controller through the signal path and operable between a first position connecting an input from the water processing system to a first output, and a second position connecting the input from the water processing system to a second output.
1 . A water discharge management system comprising:
a water processing system;
a controller provided with an executable recapture protocol;
a plurality of controllable multi-way valves which control and implement a regeneration cycle of the water processing system based upon the recapture protocol, each controllable multi-way valve being in operable communication with the controller through a signal path, the controllable multi-way valves being responsive to a signal exchanged with the controller through the signal path and operable between a first position connecting an input from the water processing system to a first output, and a second position connecting the input from the water processing system to a second output.
2 . The water discharge management system of claim 1 , wherein the water processing system is selected from the group consisting of a water conditioning system, an ion exchange system, and a filtration system.
3 . The water discharge management system of claim 1 , wherein the water processing system is selected from the group consisting of a water conditioning unit, a cation exchange system, an anion exchange system, a water filtration system, pH filter, acid neutralizer, carbon filtration system, taste filter, odor filter, multi-media filter, filter ag filter, birm filter, iron filter, hydrogen sulfide filter, sand filter, and particulate filter.
4 . The water discharge management system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is in communication with a timer that tracks the amount of time between the multi-way valve being initiated and when the multi-way valve reaches the second position.
5 . The water discharge management system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is in communication with an optical counter that senses when the multi-way valve reaches the second position.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the controller senses current draw to execute the recapture protocol.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the controller uses a sensor to detect a characteristic of the discharge water to execute the recapture protocol.
8 . The water discharge management system of claim 1 , therein the multi-way valves are motorized valves.
9 . The water discharge management system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of signal paths.
