Installation manual

IMPORTANT:
Never insert a drain line directly into a drain, sewer line or
ptrap. Always allow an air gap between the drain line of the
waste water to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-
siphoned in the Water Softener.
10. WATER SOFTENER SERIAL NUMBER
Record the Water Softener serial number on the installer’s
records and consumer’s sales invoice.
11. WATER SOFTENER BYPASS VALVE
The Water Softener bypass valve is typically used to isolate
the Water Softener control valve from the plumbing system,
water pressure in order to perform Water Softener control
valve repairs or maintenance. The bypass valve is
particularly unique due to its versatility and design features.
The 1 inch Water Softener full flow bypass valve
incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position
that allows to work on a pressure system while still providing
untreated bypass valve water to the residence. The bypass
valve is completely non-metallic, all composite design. The
Water Softener bypass valve consists of two
interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently
by red arrow shaped handles. The handles identify the
water flow direction of the water. The plug valves enable the
bypass valve to operate in four positions.
A) NORMAL OPERATION POSITION
The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of water
flow of the Water Softener indicated by the engraved arrows
on the bypass valve. Water flows through the bypass valve
during normal operation and this position also allows the
bypass valve to isolate the Water Softener resin bed during
the regeneration cycle.
