SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2-1
Step 1. If not factory pre-installed, attach BYPASS VALVE
or YOKE ASSEMBLY using ADAPTER COU-
PLINGS, CLIPS and SCREWS to CONTROL
VALVE (Figure 2). On meter initiated models,
attach METER between BYPASS VALVE and
CONTROL VALVE (Figure 2).
Step 2. On Series 2501 ONLY attach salt grid leg exten-
sions (provided) to bottom of salt grid legs by
snapping nipple on end of extension into hole in
the bottom of the grid leg. NOTE: Extension legs
should be installed whenever salt dosage on any
model softener is 15 lbs. or more. Verify all
packing materials have been removed from the
brine tank. On all units, push salt grid down into
brine tank until grid legs rest on bottom of brine
tank.

Step 3. Shut off all water at main supply valve. On a private
well system, turn off power to pump and drain
pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved
from complete system by opening nearest faucet to
drain system. SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO
WATER HEATER.
Step 4. Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing to
INLET and OUTLET of unit.
Step 5. Attach plumbing. DO NOT apply heat to any fitting
connected to BYPASS or CONTROL VALVE as
damage may result to internal parts or connecting
adapters. MAKE CERTAIN WATER FLOW EN-
TERS THROUGH INLET AND DISCHARGES
THROUGH OUTLET.
