Bypass Valve Operation
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
1" full fl ow bypass valve incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position that
allows service personnel to work on a pressurized system while still providing untreat-
ed 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-fi lled Noryl and the nuts and caps are glass- fi lled
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 indepen-
dently by red arrow-shaped handles. The handles identify the fl ow direction of the
water. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four positions.
Refer to corresponding bypass valve illustrations on the following page.
Figure 1. Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the di-
rection of fl ow indicated by the engraved arrows on the control valve. Water fl ows
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 2. Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the by-
pass, the control valve is isolated from the water pressure contained in the plumbing
system. Untreated water is supplied to the plumbing system.
Figure 3. Diagnostic Position: The inlet handle points in the direction of fl ow 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.
Figure 4. Shut Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve
and the outlet handle points in the direction of fl ow, the water is shut off to the
plumbing system. If water is available, on the outlet side of the softener, it is an in-
dication of water bypassing the system (i.e. a plumbing connection somewhere in the
building bypasses the system).
