1
. Move the water softener into the desired location.
Set it on a solid, level surface.
IMPORTANT:
Do not place shims directly under the
salt storage tank to level the softener.
The weight of the tank, when full of
water and salt, may cause the tank to
fracture at the shim.
2
. Visually check and remove any debris from the
water softener valve inlet and outlet ports.
3
. Make sure the turbine assembly spins freely in the
"out" port of the valve.
4
. If not already done, put a light coating of silicone
grease on the single bypass valve o-rings.
5
. Push the single bypass valve into the softener valve
as far as it will go. Snap the two large holding clips
into place, from the top down as shown in Figures
11 & 12.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the clips snap firmly into place
so the single bypass valve will not pull
out.
