Step 2
Shut off the power to the water well pump or close the water supply on a municipal water supply
to the home. Turn off the electrical supply or gas to the water heater or water boiler to prevent
damage. Down stream from the pressure tank or water meter, open a water fi xture or valve
and drain the water line to aid in draining the home or facility to facilitate installing the arsenic
reduction system.
Step 3
Cut the main water line supply as required to fi t plumbing to INLET and OUTLET connections of
the bypass valve.
Step 4
a) Attach the bypass to the control valve.
b) Asssemble the 1” NPT male connection fi ttings before you attach them to the bypass
valve. Please refer to Figure 3 below to correctly assemble the connection fi tting. At-
tach connection fi ttings to the bypass by inserting the connection fi ttings into the inlet/
outlet connections of the bypass valve and hand tightening the fi tting nut.
c) Attach plumbing to connection fi ttings based on local state or federal plumbing codes.
d) Make certain the water enters the inlet and discharges through the outlet sides of the
bypass valve. Arrows on the bypass valve indicate water fl ow. Refer to SECTION 6:
COMPONENT LIST AND ASSEMBLIES for an assembly drawing on the connector (Page
6-5).
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Installation and use MUST comply with existing state or local plumbing codes.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter system, cartridges, plastic fi ttings or plastic plumbing.
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if overtightening occurs.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:
• Pay particular attention to correct orientation of control valve. Water fl ow should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and Outlet of other water treatment
equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Leave the bypass valve in the bypass position until you are ready to backwash the arsenic reduction system after the proper saturation time
(twenty-four hours).
Fitting Installation Instructions
1. The installation fi ttings are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments, but are
not designed to support the weight of a system or plumbing line and fi ttings.
2. Thread tape is the only type of thread sealant allowed to be used; the use of paste of any kind
will void the factory warranty.
3. Slide the nut on fi rst (closed and against the threads), then slip the split ring onto the fi tting,
ensuring it set correctly in groove, then the o-ring last. Use silicone lubricant to allow for easier
insertion of parts into one another.
4. Hand tighten the nut only, the use of pliers or wrenches of any type will void the factory warranty
and may cause an unexpected failure and water leak in your home or facility.
