STEP 1:
Carefully remove all components from packaging. DO NOT DISCARD PACKAGING until all
water softener components and fittings have been located.
STEP 2:
Using the integrated coupling nuts, attach the bypass valve to the inlet/outlet of the control
valve and put handles in the bypass position (Figure 2)
STEP 3:
Place unit at desired installation position.
STEP 4:
Shut off water at main supply. Relieve pressure by opening nearest faucet. On private well
systems, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank. SHUT OFF POWER OR FUEL
SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER.
STEP 5:
Cut main supply line as required to fit plumbing to inlet and outlet of bypass valve. DO NOT
PLUMB INLET AND OUTLET BACKWARDS. Piping should be supported. Do not apply heat
to any fitting attached to the bypass or control valve.
STEP 6:
Use the provided polyethylene tubing (NO VINYL TUBING) to run drain line from control valve
drain fitting (Figure 2) to floor drain or sump pit capable of handling the backwash rate of the
softener (refer to specifications on Page 12 - 13). THE DISCHARGE END OF THE DRAIN
LINE MUST BE FIRMLY SECURED! There must be an air gap at the end of the drain line to
prevent siphoning of wastewater and meet plumbing code. Total length of drain line should be
15' or less. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.
