. Your Evolve Series water softeners and conditioners are precision built, high quality products . These units will deliver conditioned water for many years to come, when installed and operated properly . Please study this manual carefully and understand the cautions and notes before installing .
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEALERS The manufacturer has preset the water treatment unit’s sequence of cycles, cycle times, salt dose, exchange capacity and salt dose refill time . The dealer should read this page and guide the installer regarding hardness, day override, time of regeneration, service alarm and buzzer alarm settings before installation.
BYPASS VALVE The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance . The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions, including a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure to test a system while providing untreated bypass water to the building .
INSTALLATION GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments . There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping, but the water softener is not designed to support the weight of the plumbing . Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere .

Avoid getting solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the “O” Rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve . If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing, install a copper grounding strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe .
