Installation Guide
PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY
A.
Prior to installation of this water softener, ensure you are aware of local laws and codes regarding
the installation, use, and maintenance of water softeners.
B.
Resin Tank - the tank may be shipped with a temporary shipping cap, a master O-Ring, and a piece
of tape covering the riser tube. This is to prevent resin from entering the riser tube during
shipping. The cap, master O-Ring, and tape must be removed and discarded prior to attaching
control valve and the upper distributor. (Another master O-ring is supplied.)
C.
Unpack the Tier1 WS-165-164 and ensure all listed parts are included. This water softener includes
both regular control valve connections and a bypass valve connection, with components included
for each method of installation. Following installation, “extra” parts will remain dependent upon
which method of installation you choose.
D.
Turn off the main water line to your home prior to installation.
E.
If you will be draining the tank, shut off the power supply to your water heater.
F.
Turn on the water faucets in the highest and lowest levels of your home.
