INSTALLATION STEPS
1. INSTALL BYPASS VALVE:
NOTE: be sure the turbine and support are firmly in
place, in the valve outlet. Blow into the valve port and
observe the turbine for free rotation.
! !" " Push the bypass valve (lubricate o-ring seals)
into both ports of the valve…Figures 1A and 1C.
!
! Snap the two large plastic clips in place, from the
top, down...Figures 1A and 1B. Be sure they snap
into place. Pull on the adaptors, or bypass valve,
to make sure they held securely in place.
2. INSTALL THE BRINE TANK OVERFLOW FIT-
TINGS:
!
! Insert the rubber grommet into the 3/4" diameter
hole in the brine tank sidewall...see page 9.
!
! Push the barbed end of the hose adaptor elbow
into the grommet.
3. MOVE THE SOFTENER INTO INSTALLATION
POSITION:
!
! Be sure the installation surface is level and
smooth. If needed, place the tank on a section of
3/4" thick (min.) plywood. Then, place shims under
the plywood as needed to level the softener.
4. PLUMB IN AND OUT PIPES TO AND FROM
SOFTENER:
CAUTIONS: Observe all of the following cautions as
you connect inlet and outlet plumbing.
!
! Turn off the house water supply valve and
open faucets to relieve pressure in the pipes.
!
! BE SURE RAW, HARD WATER IS DIRECTED
TO THE VALVE INLET PORT.
!
! Be sure to use bypass valve(s).
!
! If making a soldered copper installation, do all
sweat soldering before connecting pipes to the
softener fittings. Torch heat will damage plastic
parts.
