When and How to Bypass Your Water Conditioner
Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times when
the water conditioner should be bypassed, using the push-button Cul-Flo-Valv ® Bypass, or a 3-way
bypass valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water conditioner, and you do not want to waste soft
water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge while
you’re away.
Bypass Valve
In the back of Culligan water conditioners is a push-button Cul-Flo-Valv ® Bypass. To bypass unit,
simply turn the blue knob clockwise. To return to soft water service, reverse the procedure - turn the
blue knob counter-clockwise.
