Pre-installation Instructions (cont.) Location Considerations The proper location to install the water softener system will ensure optimum performance and satisfactory water quality. The following factors should be considered in selecting the location of the equipment. 1. The water softener should be installed after the pressure tank on a private well system or after the water meter on municipal water.
Installation Instructions STEP 1: Carefully remove all components from packaging. DO NOT DISCARD PACKAGING until all water softener components and fittings have been located. STEP 2: Use clips and screws provided and attach bypass valve to the inlet/outlet of the control valve. See figure 2 below.
Installation Instructions Connect one end of the provided 3/8” brine line to the control valve quick connect fitting. Insert STEP 7: the other end of the brine line through the hole in the brine tank and into the quick connect fitting on the safety brine valve.
