-Installation Procedure-
- Water Supply Connections and Bypass Valve -
To allow for softener servicing, swimming pool filling or lawn sprinkling, a manual bypass valve has been
installed at the factory. The bypass allows hard water to be manually routed around the softener.
1. Position softener at desired location for installation. (See Installation Diagrams.)
2. Turn OFF main water supply and OPEN nearest faucet to relieve pressure.
3. Cut main line and install appropriate elbows and extensions.
Caution:
Raised arrows located on the sides of control valve body and bypass valve indicate proper direc-
tion of water flow. Install inlet and outlet piping in direction of arrows. It is recommended that a
vacuum breaker be installed on the inlet plumbing.
6. Rotate bypass valve to the bypass position (position of lever is at right angle to inlet / outlet piping).
7. Turn the main supply line on to restore water service to the home.
8. OPEN nearest faucet to evacuate air and repressurize plumbing lines.
9. Check for leaks!
