Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times when the
water conditioner should be bypassed, using the push-button Cul-Flo-Valv
®
Bypass, or a three-way bypass
valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water conditioner, and you do not want to waste
conditioned water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge while
you’re away.
Bypass Valve
In the back of Culligan water conditioners is a push-button Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass. To bypass unit, simply
turn the blue knob clockwise. To return to service, reverse the procedure—turn the blue knob counter-
clockwise.
To BYPASS, turn the blue knob clockwise (see directional arrow on end of knob) until the knob stops as
shown. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
