5. Preparing Connection to Water Source
1) Turn off the main water supply valve for your resi-
dence / company.
2) Turn off power source for electric water heater.
If the water source is connected to an electric water
heater, turn it off. In the case that it is connected to a gas
heater, turn the heat control to pilot. If a shut-off valve is
provided on the inlet side of the water heater, close that
during the SOFT & CLEAN System installation.
3) Relieve water pressure
Relieve water pressure by opening up any cold water fau-
cet before cutting the water line to make the installation.
6. Connecting Water Source to Bypass Valve
As the SOFT & CLEAN water softening system will be
installed on existing plumbing sources, it is important to
ensure that the condition of the existing plumbing is free
from lime and iron buildup.
Replace piping that has heavy lime and/or iron buildup.
