RUNXIN F117Q Automatic Softener Valve 2.5″ Base
R2 004,00 Incl. VAT
The Runxin F117Q automatic softener valve automates softener regeneration cycles using a programmable timer. It manages service, backwash, brine draw, rinse, refill, and return to service on standard softening tanks.
Runxin F117Q Automatic Softener Valve
The Runxin F117Q automatic softener valve is a top-mount softener control valve engineered to automate the regeneration process in ion-exchange water softening systems. The valve’s built-in controller sequences through all standard softener cycles — including service, backwash, brine draw, slow rinse, fast rinse, brine refill, and return to service — according to preset timer schedules.
This model is suited for residential and light commercial water softening systems where automatic, timer-based regeneration is preferred or required. The F117Q is typically mounted on standard resin and brine tanks and uses a simple timer interface for programming.
By automating full regeneration cycles, the Runxin F117Q reduces manual intervention and helps maintain consistent softened water quality when water usage patterns are relatively predictabl
📐 Softener Tank Sizing Guide
Selecting the right softener tank size ensures efficient regeneration and adequate resin capacity for your household or facility.
Common Sizing Guide
| Household/Use Case | Daily Water Use (Approx) | Suggested Tank Diameter |
| Large household | ~900–1 500 L/day | 12″ |
| Medium household | ~450–900 L/day | 10″ |
| Light commercial or larger residence | ~1 500 L+/day | 12″+ |
Sizing Considerations
- Harder water requires more resin volume to prolong time between regeneration cycles.
- Larger tanks reduce regeneration frequency but require more installation space.
- Tanks must match valve mounting standards (thread size and riser pipe compatibility).
🕒 Regeneration Timing Recommendations
Because the F117Q is timer controlled, regeneration is scheduled based on elapsed time rather than water consumption.
Typical Timer Intervals
| Usage Pattern | Recommended Interval |
| Medium usage, moderate hardness | Every 2–3 days |
| Higher usage or high hardness | Every 1–2 days |
| Lower usage or mild hardness | Every 4–5 days |
Notes
- These are starting points — actual intervals should be tuned based on softened water quality and salt usage.
- If hard water is detected before the next cycle, shorten the interval.
📌 Practical Installation Advice
- Confirm system capacity: Ensure the resin tank and brine tank are sized for your flow and capacity needs.
- Match valve connections: Use correct fittings for 1¼″ inlet and outlet.
- Program the timer: Start with conservative intervals and adjust based on performance.
- Stable power: Ensure a reliable 12 V DC supply for uninterrupted operation.

Pros & Cons
✔ Pros
- Automated control of full softener regeneration cycles
- Timer-based programming for consistent regeneration scheduling
- Designed for larger capacity systems versus smaller valves
- LED indicators for operational feedback
- Reduces manual softener maintenance
✖ Cons
- Timer-only control (no flow or demand sensing)
- Requires external 12 V DC power supply
- Larger valve may require more installation space
- Not a complete system — requires resin tank and brine tank
FAQ's
1: What is the Runxin F117Q automatic softener valve for?
It automates the regeneration cycle in water softening systems by controlling service, backwash, brine draw, rinse, and refill stages without manual operation.
2: Does this valve require electricity?
Yes — the controller and timer logic require a 12 V DC power source, typically provided by an external transformer.
3: Is this suitable for larger softener systems?
Yes. With larger connections (e.g., 1¼″) and higher flow capacity, the F117Q is better suited to larger homes or light commercial softening applications compared with smaller valves.
4: How often should regeneration occur?
Regeneration intervals are defined by the timer settings and may need adjustment based on water hardness, usage, and resin capacity.
5: Does it handle metered regeneration?
No. The F117Q uses timer-based regeneration rather than demand/meter-based control.
