A bypass valve system is installed on all water softening systems. Bypass valves isolate the softener from the water system and allow unsoftened water to be used. Service or routine maintenance procedures may also require that the system is bypassed. Install the 1" NPT yoke as shown. Figure 1 Figure 2 PENTAIR INTELLIWATER CONNECTED WATER SOFTENER • 7...

Never insert drain line directly into a drain, sewer line, or trap (Figure 4). Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the softener. 8 • PENTAIR INTELLIWATER CONNECTED WATER SOFTENER...

3. Position the valve to the brine / slow rinse position. Ensure the unit is drawing water from the brine tank (this step may need to be repeated). 4. Position the valve to the rapid rinse position. Check the drain line flow, and run for five (5) minutes or until the water runs clear. 5. Position the valve to the start of the brine tank fill cycle. Ensure water goes into the brine tank at the desired rate. The brine valve drive cam will hold the valve in this position to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration. 6. Replace control cover. 7. Put salt in the brine tank. Notice Do not use granulated or rock salt. PENTAIR INTELLIWATER CONNECTED WATER SOFTENER • 11...
