General Information d. Shut Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet handle points away from the control valve. The water is shut off to the building. The water treatment system will depressurize upon opening a tap in the building.
Installation Section 2 Installation WA R N I N G • Changes or modifications made to this system without the consent of the manufacturer could render the system unsafe for operation and may void the manufacturer's warranty. • The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping but the water softener is not designed to support the weight of the plumbing.
