Shut-off the main water supply.
Close the water main shut-off valve to the home. It is usually located in the front of the property.
Alternatively, if you have a shut-off valve as water enters home (usually a ball or gate valve in the front of the
building), then you can opt shut-off the home water supply there.
4)
Drain any existing water from both the cold and hot water pipes.
Simply, open all of the sink and bathtub faucets to empty the remaining water in the pipes. Drain completely.
Helpful tip:
In addition, you can also remove a shower head (since it is located high) to create a vacuum so pipes can
drain better.
5)
Label the inlet (supply), and the outlet plumbing pipes.
The pipe with water flowing into the softener control valve (supply side) should be labelled: “INLET”.
To identify the inlet (supply pipe), very slightly, turn open the water main supply to identify which pipe is the
water supply line. The pipe with water flowing out (supply side), should be labelled: “INLET”.
Label the other pipe: “OUTLET”.
3) REPLACING AN EXISTING WATER SOFTENER
REMOVE THE OLD WATER SOFTENER
If applicable, the following guide is typical of how common water softeners are removed. If you find that your existing
setup is unconventional, please take pictures and videos to send to our support team to review.
1)
Set the existing softener bypass valve to the bypass position.
When set to bypass mode, water will not enter into the softener tank.
