Wh en 8z How- To Use The Bypass Valve
The bypass valve is intended to provide isolation of the WaterMax appliance in the event of a
system malfunction, leak, or if the use of untreated water for watering plants, shrubs, or lawns
is not available otherwise.
Facing your appliance from the front, the bypass is located on the main control valve (See '
below.) To engage the bypass, locate the cone-shaped knob on the right hand side, behind
the controller. Turn the knob counter-clockwise until it stops. Now the appliance is bypassed
and all water to the home is raw, untreated water.
To prevent untreated water from entering the home, do not use water while watering your
landscape. When watering is finished, return the appliance to service by turning the knob
clock-wise until it stops.
Blending Valve Adjustment
In some situations, a blending valve may be desired. The amount of hardness blended back
into the water line is determined by the hardness of the incoming water and the setting of the
blending valve. Where extremely hard water is present, the blending valve may only need to
be "cracked" open. Where the incoming water has relatively low levels of hardness, the
blending valve will need to be opened further. The blending valve is located between the
input and output connections on the top of the bypass valve. It is adjusted by placing a flat
blade screwdriver in the slot provided and turning clockwise to open. Total movement of the
blending valve from full closed to full open is 1/4 revolution. Precise setting of the blending
valve will require "trial and error" testing. The initial setting should be conservative. Because
of the blending valve's ease of access and adjustment, the end user can increase or decrease
the setting according to their preference over a period of time.
