OPERATION:

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. 

(see figure 

1)

2.  Bypass  Position: 

The  inlet  and  outlet  handles 

point  to  the  center  of  the  bypass,  the  control  valve 

is isolated from the water pressure contained in the 

plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the 

plumbing system. 

(see figure 2)

3.  Diagnostic  Position:

  The  inlet  handle  points  in 

the  direction  of  flow  and  the  outlet  handle  points  to 

the center of bypass valve, system water pressure is 

allowed to the control valve and the plumbing system 

while not allowing water to exit from the control valve 

to the plumbing. 

(see figure 3)

4. Shut Off Position: 

The inlet handle points to the 

center  of  the  bypass  valve  and  the  outlet  handle 

points  in  the  direction  of  flow,  the  water  is  shut  off 

to  the  plumbing  system.  If  water  is  available  on  the 

outlet side of the conditioner it is an indication of water 

bypass around the system (i.e. a plumbing connection 

somewhere  in  the  building  bypasses  the  system). 

(see figure 4)

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 X-Factor bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to its versatility 

and state of the art design features. The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions, including a diagnostic position that 

allows service personal to work on a pressurized system while still providing untreated bypassed 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.

The working parts of the bypass valve are the rotor assemblies that are contained under the bypass valve caps. Before working on the 

rotors, make sure the system is depressurized. Turn the red arrow shaped handles towards the center of the bypass valve and back 

several times to ensure rotor is turning freely. 
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand. If necessary a pliers or the service spanner wrench can be 

used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps 

and/or tap with a hammer. 
Refer to page 16 for bypass valve parts diagram and service spanner wrench information.
To access the rotor, unscrew the cap and lift the cap, rotor and handle out as one unit. Twisting the unit as you pull it out will help to 

remove it more easily. There are three o-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on the rotor stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn  

o-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor.
When reinstalling the red arrow handles be sure that:

1.  The handle pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows, and the rotor seal o-ring and retainer on both rotors face 

to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve; or

2.  Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position.

Since the handles can be pulled off, they could be accidentally reinstalled 180° from their correct orientation. To install the red arrow 

handles correctly, keep the handles pointed in the same direction as the arrows engraved on the control valve body while tightening the 

bypass valve caps.
