4) A white, 13mm hose barb elbow, which is located on the tank body. This is the Overflow
Connection and is connected later.
5) The electrical connection cable is located under the control valve, on the right hand side.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Water softeners are very easy to install - there is only 1 electrical and 4 water connections:
1. Mains water inlet
2. Softened water outlet
3. Drain
4. Overflow
5. Electrical connection (which, must be wired into a 240v AC mains power supply).
Before starting, make sure that water will not be needed whilst it is turned off (a full kettle is
a good idea).

(1) DRAIN RISING MAIN

Having decided on a suitable frost-free position for the water softener; turn off the mains
water supply at the stopcock and drain from the lowest point. If you don't have a drain point
below the place where you intend to fit the valves, turn on the kitchen cold tap until the water
stops running but make sure you have a container of a suitable size, ready to catch any
residual water before you break into the pipe.
Important: The position of the water softener water feed must be after the take-off point for
drinking water and the garden, as softened water is not suitable for drinking or fish ponds and
would prove expensive if used for watering the garden.
(2) FITTTING BYPASS VALVE SET (If applicable)
Cut the rising main in a position which will allow the drinking and garden ('hard water
supply') water take-offs, to be situated before to the bypass valve set and softener. Note: You
may also need to run additional pipe-work to alter existing plumbing, if in any doubt, please
contact your local plumber.
Fit 3 valves as shown in Fig 4 to form a bypass.
This will allow you to maintain water to the house, should you ever wish to remove or
change the softener.
