Installation Requirements.
INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Always install either a single bypass valve
(provided),as shown in Figure 4, or, if desired, parts
for a 3 valve bypass system (not included) can be
purchased and assembled, as shown in Figure 5.
Bypass valves allow you to turn off water to the
softener for maintenance if needed, but still have
water in house pipes.
Pipe fittings must be 1/2” minimum.

section before cutting
the pipe.
