Clack Water Treatment Valves offer superior solutions for residential, commercial and industrial water treatment systems, combining advanced technology with unparalleled durability. Controlled by a sophisticated solid-state microprocessor, these valves provide exceptional flexibility and ease of use. Their user-friendly interface allows for simple setup and fully programmable regeneration cycles, ensuring optimal performance tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you require immediate regeneration based on water volume, a time-delayed cycle, or an automatic backwash triggered by pressure changes, Clack control valves deliver consistent, reliable operation. Features like non-volatile memory, which retains settings during power outages, and a “look ahead” function that anticipates water demand, guarantee an uninterrupted supply of treated water.
Engineered for high performance and minimal maintenance, the Clack Water Softener Control Valve is built to last. Its innovative design, featuring a patented single-piston operation, reduces the number of moving parts within the water stream, thereby enhancing long-term reliability. Constructed from corrosion-resistant composite plastics and lead-free brass, this water filter head withstands harsh conditions, making it ideal for a variety of demanding applications.
The double backwash feature ensures thorough media cleaning, while the energy-efficient, low-voltage operation and quiet performance make it a practical choice for any environment. For a dependable, intelligent water management solution, trust Clack valves for excellent flow rates with minimal pressure drop.

This FAQ explains what Clack valves are, how to select the right size, and the difference between Time Clock and Metered valves. Discover servicing schedules, where to find spare parts, and how Dowdens assists with programming and repairs.
Clack Control Valves are advanced, automated valves used in residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment systems. They regulate the flow of water during service and regeneration cycles for water softeners and filters. Known for their durability and ease of programming, models like the WS1, WS1.25, and WS2 are industry standards for consistent performance.
Sizing depends on your flow rate requirements and pipe size.
Time Clock (TC): Regenerates based on a set number of days (e.g., every 3 days), regardless of water usage. This is often used for filters that require regular backwashing to prevent media fouling.
Metered: Uses a flow meter to track water usage and regenerates based on the volume of water treated. This is generally more efficient for water softeners, as it saves salt and water by only regenerating when necessary.
While Clack valves are designed for longevity, we recommend a preventative maintenance check every 12–24 months, depending on water quality. High levels of iron or sediment may require more frequent cleaning of the injector screen and stack assembly to prevent wear.
