Manual Bypass
In the case of emergency, such as an overflowing brine tank, you can isolate your water sof-
tener from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In nor-
mal 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 BY-
PASS 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 re-
sume soft water service, open bypass valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise.
Maintenance
Adding Salt
Salt Bridging
Humidity or wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This ac-
tion, known as “bridging”, prevents the brine solution from being made, leading to your water
supply being hard.
If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the brine tank or pour some
warm water over the salt to break up the bridge. This should always be followed up by al-
lowing the unit to use up any remaining salt and then thoroughly cleaning out the brine tank.
Allow two hours to produce a brine solution, then manually regenerate the softener.
Use only Extra Course Grade or Crystal water softener salt. Check the salt level monthly. It
is important to maintain the salt level above the water level. To add salt, simply lift the salt
lid and add the salt directly into the brine tank. Be sure the brine well cover is on and fill only
to the height of the brine well.
