Planning Installation
Inlet -- Outlet Plumbing Options
•
ALWAYS INSTALL either a single bypass valve (not included) or a 3 valve bypass system (not included).
Bypass valves allow you to turn off water to the softener for repairs if needed, but still have water in house
pipes.
•
Use 3/4” (minimum) pipe and fittings.
•
Use sweat copper... or, threaded pipe... or, PVC plastic pipe... or, other approved plumbing.
