INSTALLATION
Page 7
INLET & OUTLET

Check the water pressure at the place of installation of
the water softener; it should never exceed 8,3 bar.

In case of high concentration of impurities in the inlet
water, we recommend the installation of a sediment filter,
ahead of the water softener.

We strongly recommend the use of flexible hoses to
connect the water softener to the water distribution system;
use hoses with a large diameter in order to limit the pressure
loss.

We strongly recommend the installation of a bypass
system (not included with this product!) to isolate the water
softener from the water distribution system in case of
repairs. It allows to turn off the water to the water softener,
while maintaining full-flow (untreated) water supply to the
user.

In case of a Duplex/Triplex system, we strongly
recommend to keep the inlet and outlet plumbing to all
Simplex systems as identical as possible; this way the total
water flow is evenly spread over the different Simplex
systems.
SIMPLEX
with factory bypass (optional)
Picture 2
 = mains water supply (hard/untreated water)
 = inlet of water softener (untreated water)

= outlet of water softener (treated water)
 = application (treated water)
1.
Screw the factory bypass onto the in/out ports on the
control valve (

&

); make sure to install the gasket
seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
2. Screw the connection kit with nuts onto the factory
bypass (
 &  ); make sure to install the gasket seals.
Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
3. Connect the mains water supply to the adaptor on the
inlet port of the factory bypass (
 ).
4. Connect the application to the adaptor on the outlet port
of the factory bypass (
 ).
SIMPLEX
with 3-valve bypass (not included)
Picture 3
 = inlet of water softener (untreated water)
 = outlet of water softener (treated water)
1.
Install the 3-valve bypass system.
2. Screw the connection kit with nuts onto the in/out ports
on the control valve (
 &  ); make sure to install the
gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
3. Connect the IN valve of the 3-valve bypass system to the
adaptor on the in port (
 ) of the control valve.
4. Connect the OUT valve of the 3-valve bypass system to
the adaptor on the out port (
 ) of the control valve.
5. Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the 3-valve
bypass system.
6. Connect the application to the outlet of the 3-valve
bypass system.
DUPLEX ALTERNATING/PARALLEL
with multiple valve bypass (not included)
Picture 4

= inlet of water softener (untreated water)
 = outlet of water softener (treated water)

= Service Valve
1.
Install the multiple valve bypass system.
2. Screw the connection kit with nuts onto the in/out ports
on the control valve (
 &  ); make sure to install the
gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
3. Screw the Service Valve (

) onto the adaptor (

) at the
out port of the control valve; make sure to respect the
flow direction (see indication arrow on the bottom of the
Service Valve); use an appropriate sealant.
4. Connect the IN valve of the bypass system to the adaptor
on the in port (
 ) of the control valve.
5. Connect the OUT valve of the bypass system to the
Service Valve (
 ).
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for both Simplex systems.
7. Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the
multiple valve bypass system.
8. Connect the application to the outlet of the multiple valve
bypass systems.
TRIPLEX PARALLEL
with multiple valve bypass (not included)
Picture 5
 = inlet of water softener (untreated water)

= outlet of water softener (treated water)
 = Service Valve
1.
Install the multiple valve bypass system.
2. Screw the connection kit with nuts onto the in/out ports
on the control valve (
 &  ); make sure to install the
gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand.
3. Screw the Service Valve (  ) onto the adaptor (  ) at the
out port of the control valve; make sure to respect the
flow direction (see indication arrow on the bottom of the
Service Valve); use an appropriate sealant.
4. Connect the IN valve of the bypass system to the adaptor
on the in port (
 ) of the control valve.
5. Connect the OUT valve of the bypass system to the
Service Valve (

).
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for all Simplex systems.
7. Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the
multiple valve bypass systems.
8. Connect the application to the outlet of the multiple valve
bypass systems.
