PLAN HOW YOU WILL INSTALL THE SOFTENER
You must first decide how to run in and out pipes to the softener. Look at the house main
water pipe at the point where you will connect the softener. Is the pipe soldered copper,
glued plastic, or threaded galvanized? What is the pipe size? Now look at the typical
installation illustration below. Use it as a guide when planning your particular installation.
Be sure to direct raw, hard water to the softener valve inlet fitting.
The valve is marked IN and OUT.
