Installation, Operation,and
Maintenance Manual
Pre Assembly
1. Carefully remove system from carton and inspect. The
system box should contain:
a. Softener
b. Bypass Valve
c. Plumbing Connectors
d. Owner’s Manual
2. Remove brine system from carton and inspect. The box
should contain:
a. Brine Tank assy.
b. 5 ft. Poly Brine Line
3. Attach the bypass to the unit. (
see figure 1
)
The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body
using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten
nut connections between control valve and fittings, control
valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation
fittings. The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and
allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area
reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design, in-
corporated into the bypass, allows approximately 2 degrees
off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The bypass is
designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments
but is not designed to support the weight of a system or the
plumbing.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or any
petroleum lubricants on o-rings. A
silicon lubricant may be used on black
o-rings only.
Tip:
Take a moment to fill out the information
sections in the Owner’s Manual. It can
be a valuable tool in the future to have all
the installation data available to answer
any questions.
Tip:
4. Attach the selected connection fitting kit to the bypass.
The nuts, split rings, and o-rings install the same as the
bypass. (
see figure 2

When assembling the inlet/outlet fitting kit,
connect the fittings to the plumbing first.
Then attach the nut, split ring, and o-ring
after the fitting has cooled or dried. Heat
from soldering or PVC glue solvents may
damage the nut, split ring, or o-ring.
Caution:
