INSTALLATION SUMMARY - SOFTENERS
Step 1: Locate the following:
Main Water Supply Line, Soft Water Loop or Inlet to Water Heater(s) (depending on application
or restrictions)
Drain Access, Electrical Outlet and Clearances.
Step 2: Check the incoming Water Pressure. Install a pressure regulator (PRV) if the water pressure
exceeds or can surge above 75 PSI.
Step 3: Place the tank where you want to install the unit, making sure the tank is level and on a firm base,
noting the clearances necessary to complete the installation.
Step 3A: TT Units or “Twin Tank” style, place separate brine tank 6” from softener resin tank.
Connect the safety brine assembly found in the brine tank to the 3/8” plastic compression fitting,
then pass the tubing through the hole provided in the brine tank and connect to brass compres-
sion fitting on side of valve.
Warning: Do not exceed connecting distance determined by the length of 3/8” OD poly tube provided.
Step 3B: Cabinet Units “all-in-one” style softeners have the brine tank incorporated within the cabinet
along with the resin tank. The connection between the valve and the safety brine assembly has
been factory assembled.
Step 4: Install at barbed connection on brine tank side, min. 5/8” OD tubing (not supplied) to a suitable
drain.
Warning: This is a gravity fed tank drain, in any event that could cause an overflow of the brine tank.
Step 5: Tighten the Valve on the Tank.
Caution: Since handling and moving the unit may loosen the valve head - Hand Tighten the Valve Head in a
Clockwise Direction. Make sure tank cover, if applicable does not interfere or cut into the connection.
Step 6: Identify Water Supply.
Connect raw water supply to bypass inlet connection.
Connect treated water bypass outlet to home service line.
Units: RT935, RT1035 and TT1054 come with dual port bypass valve and male yoke
TT1354-11/2” needs the bypass plumbed by the installer (see additional details)
Warning: Plumb the unit with the bypass and the male yoke included, or for larger brass valves, a bypass
must be plumbed with 3 shut-off valves and unions. Do not cross-connect or plumb backwards.
UNTIL START-UP PROCEDURES - KEEP ALL VALVES TO/FROM SYSTEM CLOSED
Step 7: Connect a backwash drain line (1/2” or 3/4”) based on application and an air gap.
Warning: The performance of softeners are dependent on the proper flow rates for regeneration discharge
