Installation, Operation,and
Maintenance Manual
Bypass Operation
1.
Normal Operation Position:
The in
-
let and outlet handles point in the direction of
flow indicated by the engraved arrows on the
control valve. Water flows through the control
valve during normal operation and this posi-
tion also allows the control valve to isolate
the media bed during the regeneration cycle.
(see figure 1)
2.
Bypass Position:
The inlet and out
-
let handles point to the center of the bypass,
the control valve is isolated from the water
pressure contained in the plumbing system.
Untreated water is supplied to the plumbing
system.
(see figure 2)
3.
Diagnostic Position:
The inlet
handle points in the direction of flow and the
outlet handle points to the center of bypass
valve, system water pressure is allowed to
the control valve and the plumbing system
while not allowing water to exit from the con-
trol valve to the plumbing.
(see figure 3)
4.
Shut Off Position:
The inlet handle
points to the center of the bypass valve and
the outlet handle points in the direction of
flow, the water is shut off to the plumbing
system . If water is available on the outlet
side of the filter it is an indication of water by
-
pass around the system (i.e. a plumbing con
-
nection somewhere in the building bypasses
the system).
(see figure 4)
The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to
perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The Eradicator bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment
industry due to its versatility and state of the art design features. The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions
including a diagnostic position that allows service work on a pressurized system while still providing untreated bypassed
water to the facility or residence. Its completely non-metallic, all plastic design allows for easy access and serviceability
without the need for tools.
