1. Determine the best location for your water softener, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines, drain line
and 110 volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the softener to freezing or temperatures above 110°F (43°C) will void the
warranty.
2. Water to supply outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not be softened. A new water line is often
required to be connected to supply hard water to the inlet of the water softener and to the outside faucets. Cut the
water line between where it enters the house; before any lines that branch off to feed the hot water heater or other
fixtures in the house; and as near the desired location of the water softener as possible. Install a tee fitting on the feed
end of the cut pipe and an elbow fitting on the other end. Install piping from the tee to the inlet of the water softener
and from the elbow to the outlet to the softener. To server the water lines which branch off to feed outside faucets, cut
the branch lines approximately two inches from the fitting on the main water line. Install an elbow on the end of the
pipe nearest the outside faucet and a cap on the end connected to the existing water line. Install piping from the tee
on the inlet to the water softener to the elbow on the pipe to the outside faucet. Following this procedure will result in
all lines in the house, with the exception of the outside faucets but including the water heater and therefore the hot
water lines, being supplied with soft water.
3. Familiarize yourself with the location of the inlet, outlet and drain on the control valve. Be very careful not to get the
controls wet.
CAUTION:
If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water
meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines
and these lines are cut during installation of the Noryl bypass
valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap must be
used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain
continuity. The length of the grounding strap will depend upon the
number of units being installed and/or the amount of copper pipe
being replaced with poly. See Figure 1.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later
interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl bypass valve as in Figure 1
or by physical separation as in Figure 2, to maintain proper
metallic pipe bonding, an approved ground clamp c/w not less
than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity.
Check your local electrical code for the correct clamp and cable
size.
