a. If installing a single bypass valve, push the bypass

valve, with lubricated o-ring seals in place, into the

valve inlet and outlet ports (See Figures 4 & 6).

b. If installing a 3-valve bypass system, slide plastic

installation adaptors, with lubricated o-ring seals in

place, into the valve inlet and outlet ports (See

Figures 4 & 6).

c. Make sure the turbine and support are firmly in

place in the valve outlet, as shown in Figure 7.

Blow into the valve port and observe the turbine for

free rotation.

d. Snap the two large plastic clips in place on the inlet

and outlet ports, from the top, down (See Figure 8).

Make sure they snap into place. Pull on the bypass

3. MOVE THE UNIT INTO INSTALLATION

POSITION

a. Move the water softener into the desired location.

salt storage tank to level the softener.

The weight of the tank, when full of

water and salt, may cause the tank to

fracture at the shim.
