3)
Locate in the correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment.
4)
Softener should be located in the supply line before the water heater. Temperatures above 120°F damage
softeners.
5)
Do not install a softener in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent
damage to this type of equipment and will void the factory warranty.
6)
Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing.
7)
If your water source is a community water supply, a public water supply or you wish to bypass water used for a
geothermal heat pump, lawn sprinkling, out-buildings, or other high demand applications.
8)
Keep the softener out of direct sunlight. The sun’s heat may soften and distort plastic parts.
9)
Determine the best location for your water Softener, bearing in mind the location of your water supply lines,
drain line and 120-volt AC electrical outlet. Subjecting the Softener to freezing or temperatures above 43°C
(110°F) will void the warranty.
MANUAL WATER BYPASS
In case of an emergency such as softener maintenance, you can isolate your water softener from the water supply using
the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In normal operation the bypass is open with the ON/OFF knobs in
line with the INLET and OUTLET pipes. To isolate the softener, simply rotate the knobs clockwise (as indicated by the
word BYPASS and arrow) until they lock.
You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the water supply is bypassing the softener. However, the
water you use will be hard. To resume treated service, open the bypass valve by rotating the knobs counter-clockwise.
Please make sure bypass knobs are completely open otherwise the unsoftened water could bypass through the valve.
