Installation Instructions

PLAN HOW YOU WILL INSTALL THE SOFTENER

You must first decide how to run in and out pipes to the softener. Look at the house main water pipe at the point where you will connect the softener. Is the pipe soldered copper, glued plastic or threaded galvanized? What is the pipe size?

WARNING: Use only lead-free solder and flux to prevent lead poisoning.

See Typical Installation Illustration. Use this as a guide when planning your particular installation. Be sure to direct the incoming hard water supply to the softener valve inlet fitting. The valve is marked

IN and OUT.
