STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO PLUMBING

THE SOFTENER

PLUMBING

Turn off the water supply at the incoming main and begin plumbing 
as per the installation instructions on pages 5.

FIT THE BYPASS KIT (IF INCLUDED)

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 blue 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).

To bypass softener

, ensure bypass is open (horizontal) as per 

right hand diagram below.

THE SOFTENER

PLUMBING

Turn off the water supply at the incoming main and begin plumbing as per
the installation instructions on pages 5.

FIT THE BYPASS KIT (IF INCLUDED)

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 blue 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).

To bypass softener,

ensure bypass is open (horizontal) as per right hand

diagram below.

SECURE THE ADAPTOR ELBOW

Ensure o-rings are lubricated and in place before snapping the two large
hold clips into place, from the top down (see top illustration opposite). 
Be sure they snap firmly into place so that the adaptors will not pull out.
Pull on the adaptors to assure a tight fit has been achieved.

INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS:

(For unvented or direct systems refer to page 5). 
Use the connecting hoses provided with the elbow unions to make the
inlet and outlet connections. For ease of connection the straight ends
may be connected to isolating valves or elbow unions. Fit the filter discs
into the straight union end of the inlet/outlet hoses.

DRAIN OUTLET/OVERFLOW CONNECTION:

Insert the rubber grommet into the overflow socket situated 2/3 of the
way up the rear of the water softener cabinet. Only insert the overflow
adaptor using the silicone grease provided once the grommet is secure.
Cut two lengths of hose as required to make the drain and overflow 
connections.

Fit one length of hose onto the overflow adaptor and one length onto the
drain line adaptor.
Turn the drain line adaptor so that a straight connection can be made.
The drain hose and overflow hose must be secured with the supplied

metal  clamps(see  illustration  opposite).  Pass  the  overflow  hose
through a hole in an outside wall so that its end can be seen. The drain
hose may be connected directly into an open drain, and air gap of
20mm must always be maintained. The drain and overflow must not be
kinked.

Please Remember

– 

Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener!

SECURE THE ADAPTOR ELBOW

Ensure o-rings are lubricated and in place before snapping the two large 
hold clips into place, from the top down (see top illustration opposite). 
Be sure they snap firmly into place so that the adaptors will not pull out. 
Pull on the adaptors to assure a tight fit has been achieved.

INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS:

(For unvented or direct systems refer to page 5).
Use the connecting hoses provided with the elbow unions to make the 
inlet and outlet connections. For ease of connection the straight ends 
may be connected to isolating valves or elbow unions. Fit the filter discs 
into the straight union end of the inlet/outlet hoses.

DRAIN OUTLET/OVERFLOW CONNECTION:

Insert the rubber grommet into the overflow socket situated 2/3 of the 
way up the rear of the water softener cabinet. Only insert the overflow 
adaptor using the silicone grease provided once the grommet is secure. 
Cut two lengths of hose as required to make the drain and overflow 
connections.

Fit one length of hose onto the overflow adaptor and one length onto 
the drain line adaptor.
Turn the drain line adaptor so that a straight connection can be made. 
The drain hose and overflow hose must be secured with the supplied 
metal clamps (see illustration opposite). Pass the overflow hose 
through a hole in an outside wall so that its end can be seen. The drain 
hose may be connected directly into an open drain, and air gap of 
20mm must always be maintained. The drain and overflow must not 
be kinked.

Please Remember

 – Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener!
