Bypass
When and How to Bypass Your Water Conditioner
Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times
when the water conditioner should be bypassed, using the Bypass Valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water conditioner, and you do not want to waste
soft water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge
while you’re away.
Bypass Valve
To bypass the valve, turn bypass knob on both sides of the valve to bypass position (see figures
13 and 14). When returning to service, put the inlet into service before the outlet.
