24. There is a barb fitting on the side of the brine tank. This is used as an overflow and only is used if the brine
tan
k overfills. This barb is for 5/8” tubing. If you elect to use tubing for this elbow, run it to a floor drain or
sump pump.
25. Place 3-
6 bags of salt in the salt tank. The salt tank is full when the salt level is 1” below the white
tube in the brine tank. Pour in 5 gallons of water. The salt should be used then refilled. It is not a
good practice to top off the salt weekly. It is better to use it all then refill it.
26. Place the unit in the Bypass position. There is a pointer on the bypass valve handle. This pointer should be
pointing to “bypass” on the valve. When the bypass valve is in the bypass position the handle will bisect
the plumbing connections.
— Turn on the main water supply.
— Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let water run a few minutes or until the system is free of foreign
material (usually solder) resulting from the installation. Close the water tap when water runs clean.
