Step By Step Guide To Plumbing The Softener

Please Remember
– Only use Tablet or Pellet Salt in Your Softener!
PLUMBING
Turn off the water supply at the incoming main and begin plumbing as per
the installation instructions on pages 4 & 5.
FIT THE BYPASS KIT
Cut off the rising main and install the inlet tee with check valve. Next, plumb
the bypass, inlet and outlet valves so that the water supply can be turned
back on. Use the red valve for the inlet, the blue valve for the outlet and the
grey valve as the bypass. Before turning the water back on, make sure the
bypass is open and the inlet and outlet valves are closed. This will allow
water to pass directly to the household system without it diverting to the
water softener. (The use of the plastic plumbing fittings with copper pipe may
affect the electrical earthing or bonding of the copper pipe. If in doubt, we
advise that you contact a qualified electrician for advice).
