INSTALLGROUNDINGCLAMPBETWEEN THESOFTENERINAND OUT PIPES

The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electrical outlets in the home. Outlets are grounded to protect you from shock when you touch any electric appliance plugged into the out- let. If you installed the single bypass valve, the cold water pipe ground is broken. See Fig. 20 and 21.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the cold water pipe has direct metal to metal contact all the way to the ground. Plastic, rubber or other electrically insulat- ing parts such as hoses, fittings, washers or gas- kets can break the direct metal to metal contact. Also check the water meter (city water) or the well pump. Install #4 copper jumper wires, clamped tightly on both ends, across insulated parts. See Fig. 21.

To restore the ground, take the ground clamp kit that is in the parts bag. Install across the inlet and outlet cop- per tubes. See Fig. 20. Be sure good contact is made between the pipe and the clamps.
