Planning Installation
Inlet - Outlet Plumbing Options
•  ALWAYS  INSTALL either  a  single  bypass  valve  (included)  or  a  3  valve  bypass  system  (not
included). Bypass valves allow you to turn off water to the softener for repairs if needed, but still
have water in house pipes. 
• Use 3/4” (minimum) pipe and fittings. 
• Use sweat copper... or, threaded pipe... or, PVC plastic pipe... or, other approved plumbing. 
Tie or wire valve drain hose in place, to keep over
floor drain.
