3 years. The system is now ready for operation.

NOTICE

4.  Connect the cold water supply to the inlet of the 

AquaSolve system. Install an inlet water supply 
valve (user supplied) in this line and close it.

 

NOTE: The AquaSolve system operates in  
the UP-FLOW mode which is opposite of a  
conventional softener.

5.  Place a bucket under the outlet port or run a line 

from the outlet port to a drain.

6.  Turn the main water supply valve back on. Slightly 

open the inlet supply valve (user supplied) to 
the AquaSolve system. Slowly place AquaSolve 
By-Pass Valve into Service position (see image 
above for reference). Allow the tank to fill with 
water. Close the supply valve when a steady stream 
of water comes out of the outlet port. If the outlet is 
flowing into a bucket, water could splash on nearby 
objects. If this threatens the safety, value, structure, 
or appearance of these objects, protect/remove 
them or use the outlet hose to drain option.

7.  Connect the outlet of the AquaSolve system to the 

cold water supply to the building. Install an outlet 
valve (user supplied) in this line and close it.

8.  Slowly, fully open the outlet and supply valves to 

the AquaSolve system.

9.  Open hot and cold faucets downstream from 

the AquaSolve system to relieve any air from the 
plumbing system. Then close the faucets.

10. Check for leaks. Repair as needed.

Installation and Start-Up 
 

 

1.  Turn off the main water supply to the plumbing and 

open an inside faucet to relieve any pressure within 
the plumbing system. Close the inside faucet once 
pressure is released.

2.  Place the system in the desired location. Make sure 

that the location is level and sturdy enough to sup-
port the weight of the system while in operation.

3.  Attach the stainless steel bypass valve assembly to 

the tank head and secure in place with the bypass 
clips and screws. Hand tighten screws. See bottom 
right of page 5 for assembly image. Use caution 
not to pinch interconnector O-rings in the assembly 
process.
