COMPLETE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING

Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings

from the main water pipe to the inlet and outlet ports of

the water softener valve.  Be sure to keep fittings fully

together, and pipes squared and straight.
Be sure hard water supply pipe goes to the water sof-

tener valve inlet side.

NOTE:

Inlet and outlet are marked on the water sof-

tener valve.  Trace the water flow direction to

be sure hard water is to inlet.

IMPORTANT:

Be sure to fit, align and support all

plumbing to prevent putting stress on

the water softener valve inlet and outlet.

Stress from misaligned or unsupported

plumbing may cause damage to the

valve.

Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the type of

pipe you will be using.

COLD WATER PIPE GROUNDING

CAUTION: The house cold water pipe (metal only)

is often used as a ground for the house

electrical system,  The 3-valve bypass

type of installation, shown in Figure 8,

will maintain ground continuity.  If you

use a plastic bypass valve at the unit,

continuity is broken.  To restore the

ground, do the following:

1

. Install the included metal ground clamp across the

removed section of main water pipe, securely tight-

ening the hardware at the center (See Figure 13).

NOTE: Check local plumbing and electrical codes

for proper installation of the ground wire.

The installation must conform to them.  In

Massachusetts, plumbing codes of

Massachusetts shall be conformed to.

Consult with your licensed plumber.

Installation Instructions

1

. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8"

drain line (provided) to the salt storage tank over-

flow elbow and secure in place with a hose clamp.

2

Route the hose to the floor drain, or other suitable

drain point no higher than the drain fitting on the salt

storage tank (This is a gravity drain).  If the tank

overfills with water, the excess water flows to the

drain point.  Cut the drain line to the desired length

and route it neatly out of the way.

IMPORTANT:

For proper operation of the water soften-

er, do not connect the water softener

valve drain tubing to the salt storage

tank overflow hose.

TEST FOR LEAKS

To prevent air pressure in the water softener and

plumbing system, complete the following steps in

order:

1

. Fully open two or more softened cold water faucets

close to the water softener, located downstream

from the water softener.

2

. Place the bypass valve (single or 3 valve) into the

"bypass" position.  See Figures 7 & 8 on Page 7.

3

. Slowly open the main water supply valve.  Run

water until there is a steady flow from the opened

faucets, with no air bubbles.

4

. Place bypass valve(s) in "service" or soft water posi-

tion as follows:

=

Single bypass valve: Slowly move the valve stem

toward "service," pausing several times to allow

the water softener to fill with water.

=

3 valve bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and

open the outlet valve.  Slowly open the inlet

valve, pausing several times to allow the water

softener to fill with water.

5

. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet

until there is a steady flow and there are no air bub-

bles, then close this faucet.

6

. Close all cold water faucets and check for leaks at

the plumbing connections that you made.

7

. Check for leaks around clips at softener’s inlet and

outlet.  If a leak occurs at a clip, depressurize the

plumbing (turn off the water supply and open

faucets) before removing clip.  When removing clips

at the softener’s inlet or outlet, push the single

bypass valve body toward the softener (See Figure

14).  Improper removal may damage clips.  Do not

reinstall damaged clips.
