LEAK TEST

To check for leaks, complete the following steps:

CAUTION: To avoid water or air pressure dam- age to softener inner parts, and to flush pipe chips or other residue from the water pipes, be

sure to do the following steps exactly asShu_ instructed.

HOUSE MAIN WATER

SHUTOFF VALVES

Water

¢--f:_:h_ Pressure Tank

1.Fully open two cold, soft water faucets near the softener.

2.Look at the pictures in Fig. 18 and 19 to deter- mine your kind of bypass valve(s). Place bypass valve(s) in "bypass" position. On a single valve, slide the stem inward to bypass. On a three (3) valve system, close the inlet and outlet valves and open the bypass valve.

3.Fully open the house main water pipe shutoff

valve. Observe steady water flow from both open faucets.

4.Place bypass valve(s) in SERVICE EXACTLY as follows: Keep soft water faucets open.

a. Single Bypass Valve: Slowly, slide pull the valve stem outward toward service, pausing sev- eral times to allow the softener to pressurize slow- ly.

b. Three Valve Bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. Slowly, open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the sof- tener to pressurize slowly.

5.After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet for about one minute, or until all air is expelled, then close.

6.Close both cold water faucets.

7.Check your plumbing work for leaks and fix right

away if any are found. Be sure to observe previ- ous caution notes.

NOTE: If this procedure is performed on a new softener, water coming from the taps may initial-

ly be discolored. This normally occurs the first time water runs through the resin bed. The dis- colored water is not harmful, and the discol- oration will not last more than a few minutes.
