PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Installation by a licensed plumber is recommended.
1. Valves, fittings, grounding straps, wire, clamps, pipe, and
drain tubing are not supplied with the water softener.

CAUTION:
turned off accidentally.
3. Location of Softener and Drain: We recommend that the
softener be installed on a sound plumbing system within 610
cm from the drain.
NOTE: Outside faucet should be bypassed and left on
hard water.
4. Bypass Valves: Bypass valves allow you to turn off the water to
your unit but not the water service to your home.
NOTE: It can be used by itself or with a manual bypass

INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDATION: a qualified plumber should be contracted
to make all difficult piping installations.
1. SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER. See
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Shut off all water at main supply valve.
3. Open faucet nearest pump or water meter to relieve pressure
and drain system.
The water filter system should be installed
CAUTION:
with the inlet, outlet and drain connections
made in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations and to meet applicable
plumbing codes.
4. Set the water softener in place. Place on a firm concrete floor
or slab base. Be sure unit is reasonably level.
NOTE: Do not shim the tank directly for leveling. If
necessary to shim, fabricate a platform base to set
the tank on and then shim under the platform base.
5. Shut off the water to the home. Open the highest faucet in
the plumbing system and then the lowest (you cannot work
on pipes with water in them). Make necessary piping changes
for connection of the filter to the plumbing of the home (see
Figure 5).
6. It is highly recommended that the bypass valve accessory
be installed or to pipe in a three-valve bypass using manual
globe valves as shown in Figure 3.
Make certain the untreated water piping connects to
the control valve on the right and the softened water is
connected on the left (Figure 4).

7. Connect the inlet and outlet piping. The valve back plate
threads are 3/4" BSPT. Be sure you have the incoming water

on the backplate threads. Use only Teflon® Tape.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten fitting to backplate.
8. Make certain proper piping alignment is maintained. Do not
apply heat to any fitting connected to the conditioner or
damage to the valve may occur.
9. Move conditioner into position and level. Check all
connections for tightness.
To prevent water leaks, connections to softener
