INLET - OUTLET PLUMBING OPTIONS

Always install either a single bypass valve (provided)
or, if desired, parts for a 3 valve bypass system (not
included) can be purchased and assembled, as shown
in Figure 6. Bypass valves allow you to turn off water
to the Central Water Filtration System for maintenance
if needed, but still have water in house pipes.
Use either:
Copper pipe
Threaded pipe
PEX (Crosslinked Polyethylene) pipe
CPVC plastic pipe
Other pipe approved for use with potable water
IMPORTANT: Do not solder with plumbing attached to
installation adapters and single valve
bypass. Soldering heat will damage the
adapters and valve.

CROSS OVER

In what direction does the water flow?
Be sure to plan piping so water flow is to the
Central Water Filtration System valve INLET.
Plan a crossover if flow is from left to right.
