Important Installation Details 

 
The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed 
to  accommodate  minor  plumbing  misalignments  but 
are  not  designed  to  support  the  weight of the system 
or the plumbing. 
 
Do no use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants 
or  spray  silicone  anywhere.    A  silicone  lubricant  may 
be used on black o-rings but is not necessary.  

Avoid 

any  type  of  lubricants,  including  silicone,  on  the 
clear lip seals. 

 
The  nuts  and  caps  are  designed  to  be  unscrewed  or 
tightened  by  hand  or  with  the  special  plastic  wrench.   
Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or 
caps.  Do not place a screwdriver in the slots on caps 
and/or tap with a hammer. 
 
Do  not  use  pipe  dope  or  other  sealant  on  threads.  
Use  teflon  tape  on  threaded  inlet,  outlet  and  drain 
fittings.Teflon  tape  is  not  necessary  on  the  nut 
connection or caps because of o-ring seals. 
 

After completing any valve maintenance involving 
the  drive  assembly  of  the  drive  camp  assembly 
and  pistons,  unplug  power  source  jack  from  the 
circuit  board  (black  wire)  and  plug  back  in

.    This 

resets  the  electronics  and  establishes  the  service 
piston  position.  The  display  should  flash  and  then 
reset the valve to the service position if necessary. 
 
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local 
plumbing  codes.  The  pipe  size  for  the  drain  line 
should be a minimum of 12mm inside diameter.  
   
Solder  joints  near  the  drain  must  be  done  prior  to 
connecting the drain line flow control fitting.  Leave at 
least 150mm (6”) between the drain line control fitting 
and  solder  joints  when  soldering  pipes  that  are 
connected  on  the  drain  line  control  fitting.    Failure  to 
do  this  could  cause  interior  damage  to  the  drain  line 
flow control fitting. 
 
When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet 
and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system 
first  and  then  attach  the  nut,  split  ring  and  o-ring.  
Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage 
the  nut,  split  ring  and  o-ring.   Solder joints should be 
cool  and  solvent  cements  should  be  set  before 
installing  the  nut,  split  ring  or  o-ring.    Avoid  getting 
primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, 
bypass valve or control valve. 
 
Position  the  softener  within  1½  metres  of  a  10  amp 
GPO.    The  transformer  is  connected  into  the  plug 
socket on the back of the valve control panel.  Do not 
drop the transformer or have the cable too taut.  The 
transformer  is  only  suitable  for 

internal  use  only

The softener must be weather protected. 

For  full  understanding  of  the  water  softener  we 
recommend  that  the  instruction  manual  be  fully  read 
before  installation  and  commissioning  of the softener 
by undertaken. 
 

IMPORTANT: 

NUMBER 

OF 

VALVE 

COMPONENTS  ARE  LOCKED  INTO  POSITION 
WITH 

EASILY 

REMOVABLE 

CLIPS

.              

ENSURE  ALL  LOCKING  CLIPS  ARE  CORRECTLY 
IN  POSITION  BEFORE  PRESSURISING  THE 
SOFTENER.  ENSURE  THAT  IT  IS  POINTED  OUT 
TO  ALL  RELEVANT  PERSONNEL  THAT  THE 
LOCKING  CLIPS  MUST  NOT  BE  REMOVED 
WHILST  THE  SYSTEM  IS  UNDER  WATER 
PRESSURE. 

 
Note:    All  electrical  connections  must  be  connected 
according to local codes. 
 
Install grounding strap on metal plates. 
 

Bypass Valve  

 
The  bypass  valve  is  typically  used  to  isolate  the 
control  valve  from  the  plumbing  system’s  water 
pressure  in  order  to  perform  control  valve  repairs  or 
maintenance.    The  WS1  bypass  valve  is  particularly 
unique  in  the  water  treatment  industry  due  to  its 
versatility  and  state  of  the  art  design  features.    The 
full  flow  bypass  valve  incorporates  four  positions, 
including  a  diagnostic  position  that  allows  service 
personnel  to  work  on  a  pressurised  system  while  still 
providing  untreated  bypass  water  to  the  facility  or 
residence.    Its  completely  non-metallic,  all  plastic 
design  allows  for  easy  access  and  serviceability 
without the need for tools. 
 
The  bypass  body  and  rotors  are  glass  filled  Noryl (or 
equivalent)  and  the  nuts  and  caps  are  glass  filled 
polypropylene.  All seals are self-lubricating EPDM to 
help  prevent  valve  seizing  after  long  periods  of  non-
use.  Internal o-rings can easily be replaced if service 
is required. 
 
The  bypass  consists  of  two  interchangeable  plug 
valves  that  are operated independently by red arrow-
shaped  handles.    The  handles  identify  the  flow 
direction  of  the  water.    The  plug  valves  enable  the 
bypass valve to operate in four positions. 
 
1. 

Normal Operation Position

:  The inlet and outlet 

handles point in the direction of flow indicated by 
the engraved arrows on the control valve.  Water 
flows  through  the  control  valve  during  normal 
operation and this position also allows the control 
valve  to  isolate  the  media  bed  during  the 
regeneration cycle. (Figure 1) 

2. 

Bypass  Position

:    The  inlet  and  outlet  handles 

point  to  the  centre  of  the  bypass,  the  control 
valve  is  isolated  from  the  water  pressure 
contained  in  the  plumbing  system.    Untreated
