What it does for your water
The Autotrol 1000250 Metered Control Valve is a metered control valve. Connections: 0.5 in.
Metering means it waits for the gallons, not the calendar: regeneration starts when the programmed capacity is used up.
Program the regeneration time for overnight, when no one is drawing water.
A replacement head must match the tank's thread (most residential tanks use 2.5-inch 8-thread), the distributor tube diameter and the injector size for the tank diameter. Parts that name it are in the valve parts lookup.
Other listed details: connections 0.5 in; model 1000250; material Metal.
