Bypass Valve
The bypass valve can isolate the appliance should the appliance malfunction or leak. It can also permit the use
of untreated water for watering plants, shrubs, or lawns.
The bypass valve is attached to the main control valve. See Figure 4. To engage the bypass valve, locate the
blue knob on top of the bypass valve. Turn the knob counterclockwise until it hits the stop. The appliance will be
bypassed and all water to the home is raw, untreated water. To prevent untreated water from entering the
home, water should not be used inside the home when the appliance is in Bypass mode. Ensure that the
appliance is returned to Service mode when the appliance is repaired or the use of untreated water is complete
by turning the blue knob clockwise until it hits the stop.
