Water Line and Bypass Connections
A bypass valve system should be installed on all water
conditioning systems. A model 1265 bypass is included with
this system. The bypass valve isolates the conditioner from the
water system and provides unconditioned water to service during
routine maintenance and servicing procedures. See Figure 7
Model 1265 Bypass (Included) and Figure 8 Typical Three Valve
Bypass Configuration (Not provided by manufacturer).
Note: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two
handles on the bypass valve 2-3 times. This will help seat the
O-rings and prevent leaking.

WARNING:
Do not use tools to tighten plastic
fittings. Over time, stress may break the
connections. Hand tighten the nuts.
WARNING:
Do not use petroleum grease on
gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing.
Use only 100% silicone grease products when
installing any WC400 brand valve. Non-silicone
grease may cause plastic components to fail
over time.
WARNING: The inlet water must be connected
to the inlet port of the valve. When replacing
non-WC400 valves, it is possible that the inlet
and outlet plumbing is installed in a reversed
position. Ensure that the plumbing is not
installed in the opposite order. Tank media may
be pushed into the valve.
