Installation Instructions
1. If the hot water tank is electric, turn off the power to it to avoid damage to the element in
the tank.
2. If the source is a private well, turn the power off to the pump and then shut off the main
water shut off valve. If the source is municipal water, simply shut off the main valve. Go
to the faucet, (preferably on the lowest floor of the house) turn on the cold water until all
pressure is relieved and the flow of water stops.
3. Locate the softener tank and brine tank close to a drain where the system will be in-
stalled. The surface should be clean and level.
4. Connect the inlet and outlet of the softener using appropriate fittings. Perform all plumb-
ing according to local plumbing codes.

ON COPPER PLUMBING SYSTEMS BE SURE TO INSTALL A GROUNDING
WIRE BETWEEN THE INLET AND OUTLET PIPING TO MAINTAIN GROUNDING.
Any solder joints being soldered near the valve must be done before connecting any piping
to the valve. Always leave at least 6" (152 mm) between the control valve and joints being
soldered when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could
cause damage to the valve.
The Aquatrol is equipped with 3/4” male NPT connections. It is recommended that these
connections are made using Teflon tape.
The inlet and outlet can be identified on the bypass valve. There are arrows stamped in the
bypass valve showing flow. The arrow pointing toward the valve is the inlet and the arrow
pointing away from the valve is the outlet.
All piping should be secured to prevent stress on the bypass valve and connectors.
