GOING ON HOLID Y
Good practice is to turn off your mains water when you
are away from home for a long period of time.
When you are away and water is not being used in the
house the water softener will not recharge, so no salt or
water will be wasted.

TURNING OFF YOUR W TER SOFTENER
There may be times when you want to turn off your water
softener and have mains water come direct to your
household rather than going through the softener.
Maybe you are having work done to your house, or the local
water company is working on the mains water in your street.
By-passing your water softener
The diagrams below show the valve positions on your
pipework for your unit to be working and for your unit to be
bypassed.
The inlet and outlet valves feed the water through the
softener. The bypass valve opens the mains water
directly into your house.
Turning the valves off and back on once a year, will ensure
they are working correctly.
Please Remember
Only use tablet or pellet salt in your softener!
