Manual Bypass 

 

In the case of emergency, such as an overflowing brine tank, you can isolate your water 

softener from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In 
normal operation the bypass is open with the on/off knobs in line with the inlet and outlet 

pipes. 
 

To isolate the softener, simply rotate the knobs clockwise (as indicated by the word BYPASS 

and arrow) until they lock. You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the 
water supply is bypassing the softener. However, the water you use will be hard. To resume 

soft water service, open bypass valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise. 

Maintenance 

Adding Salt 

Use only NUGGET or PELLET water softener salt.  Check the salt level monthly.  It is impor-

tant to maintain the salt level above the water level.  To add salt, simply lift the salt lid and 
add the salt directly into the brine tank.  Be sure the brine well cover is on and fill only to 

the height of the brine well. 

Bridging 

Humidity or wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This ac-

tion, known as “bridging”, prevents the brine solution from being made, leading to your wa-
ter supply being hard. 

 
If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the brine tank or pour some 

warm water over the salt to break up the bridge.  This should always be followed up by al-

lowing the unit to use up any remaining salt and then thoroughly cleaning out the brine 
tank.  Allow two hours to produce a brine solution, then manually regenerate the softener.
