heater, in the possibility that the water heater
may be drained while draining pipes.
• Turn off the water supply to pipes to be cut and
drain the house water pipes.
• Open both hot and cold faucets at the lowest
location possible.
INSTALL BYPASS VALVE
• Make sure there is a gasket secured inside the
inlet and outlet union nuts of the bypass. Then
assemble the union nut to the valve inlet and
outlet, hand-tightening both union nuts
simultaneously. It is not necessary to lubricate or
use sealant on the rubber gaskets or union nuts.
• Insert copper adapters through union nuts.
Place the rubber gaskets into the union nuts and
assemble to bypass valve. It is not necessary to
lubricate or use sealant on rubber gasket or
union nuts.

MOVE THE SOFTENER ASSEMBLY
INTO INSTALLATION POSITION
Before sliding softener in position, be sure the
installation surface is level and smooth. Sharp
objects under the tank may puncture it. If needed,
place the tank on a section of 3/4″ thick (minimum)
plywood. Then, place shims under the plywood as
needed to level the softener. Slide softener into
position.
