Step 13 Complete the Installation

A.Open the inlet valve and turn on the electricity to the water heater. For gas water heaters, return the gas cock to “On.”

B.Open a cold water tap and allow the appliance to flush for 20 minutes or until approximately 72 gallons have passed through the appliance. This procedure is required to meet NSF compliance. Verify the flow rate on the controller, which indicates water flow. See Figure 1.

C.Ensure that the bypass is left in the “Service” position. See Bypass Valve.

D.Adjust the blending valve if it is being used. See Blending Valve.

E.Test the water at the test port to verify soft water.

F.Place the covers on both of the cabinets.

Bypass Valve

The bypass valve can isolate the appliance should the appliance malfunction or leak. It can also permit the use of untreated water for watering plants, shrubs, or lawns.

The bypass is located on the main control valve. See Figure 3. To engage the bypass, locate the blue cone-shaped knob on the right-hand side (facing the front of the appliance), behind the controller. Turn the knob counterclockwise until it stops. Do not overtighten. The appliance will be bypassed and all water to the home is raw, untreated water. To prevent untreated water from entering the home, water should not be used inside the home when the appliance is in bypass mode. Ensure that the appliance is returned to service mode when the appliance is repaired or the use of untreated water is complete by turning the knob clockwise until it stops.
