Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures
The water softener is capable of treating a combination of undesirable constituents (such as iron, dirt, sediment,
chlorine, and/or lead) in water. See
Specifications
for the capabilities of your appliance. Install, set up, and use
the appliance within the operating limits outlined in this manual. Failure to comply with these specifications may
decrease the effectiveness of the backwash and cause control valve malfunction. The water softener, like any
other appliance, requires correct installation and setting for optimum performance.
Each water treatment appliance includes water test strips and eight feet of drain line.
Step 1
Prepare the Placement Area
A.
Make sure the placement area is clean.
B.
Turn off the electricity and water supply to the water heater. For gas water heaters, turn the

other substance. Clean or replace plugged plumbing.
Note:
A minimum 3/4-inch pipe is required between the pressure tank and the appliance for
the appliance to function properly.
D.
Make sure the inlet/outlet and drain connections meet the applicable state and local codes.
E.
Check the arrows on the bypass valve to ensure that the water flows in the proper direction.
See
Bypass Valve.
