Bypass Assembly Cont.

90262 Bypass

Seals the left/right Piston opening on the Housing (90246). The opening is sealed with an O-Ring

End Cap—Left;

used as an axial or “face” seal. The O-Ring sits in a groove in the End Cap. This groove must be free

90263 Bypass

of defects such as pits or scratches and also free of debris. When assembling the End Cap to the

End Cap—Right

Housing, care should be taken to make sure that the O-Ring stays in the groove in the End Cap. If

 

misaligned, the O-Ring can become pinched and leak. On the Left End Cap is the Piston Axle, a 1/4"

 

square shaft that acts as a guide/slide and anti-turning mechanism for the Bypass Piston. On the

 

Right End Cap is the guide/bushing for the Bypass Piston Drive Shaft (90218). There is an O-Ring

 

seal at the opening for the Drive Shaft. This seal area must be free of defects such as pits or

 

scratches and also free of debris.

90252 Blending

The Cap should be held in place by the three 1/2" screws and be in the proper orientation.

Dial Cap

 

90222 Blending

The dial permits the addition of “hard water” into the soft water outlet. It is closed when pointing

Dial

toward the Main Valve Body and open when pointing toward the inlet side.

90246 Bypass

Makes the connection between the plumbing and Main Valve Body. Also, contains the “Hard Water”

Housing

Blending Valve and Bypass Piston. The recommended seal for the 1-1/4" male inlet-outlet threads is

 

the plastic Hook-up Nut (90251), O-Ring (90837), and Copper Adapter (90254). Make sure the O-

 

Ring is between the Housing and Copper Adapter. The O-Ring seal areas at the Main Valve Body

 

inlet and outlet must be smooth and free of defects and debris, and lubricated with silicone grease

 

before assembling. When attaching to the Main Valve Body, put the O-Rings on the male bosses on

 

the Valve Body and push the Bypass into place; if not, the O-Rings may be “pinched.” If the O-Rings

 

are pinched, replace with new ones. The Bypass is pre-assembled with the Sensor housing and

 

turbine axle. These are not field-serviceable and if damaged, must be replaced with a new assembly.

 

The Bypass Piston bore is to be smooth and, at the recessed areas, have a smooth transition (no

 

sharp corners) to the seat areas.

90616 Bypass

The white Teflon Hydro-slide O-Ring covers should be free of defects such as indentations and cuts.

Piston Assembly

The Piston should move freely into and out of the Bypass Housing (90246) without damaging the

 

Hydro-slides. If the Hydro-slides catch, tear or crimp, the Housing should be replaced.

 

Note: Some compression will occur when the Hydro-slides pass through the seal areas.

90218 Bypass

The Drive Shaft has an acme thread which is used to move the Piston from “bypass” to “service”

Piston Drive

position. When operating the Bypass, to achieve either “service” or “bypass,” it is only necessary to

Shaft

turn the Handle (90221) until the Piston (90616) stops. Additional pressure (torque) will not improve

 

the seal. Once the Piston reaches the stop at either position, it can be backed off up to one half turn

 

of the handle and still achieve a seal.

90226 Test Port

The Test Port Valve is used to draw water samples for testing of treated water.

Valve

Note: The Bypass must be in the “service” position to get an accurate sample. There are two types of

 

seals on the Test Port. One seal is an O-Ring which seals off the threaded area when the Valve is

 

opened. The other seal is a compression O-Ring seal between the Test Port Valve material and the

 

Right End Cap material. If this seal is “overtightened,” it can damage the O-Ring and cause a

 

permanent leak.

93860 Turbine

Picks up the magnetic field from the Turbine and relays it to the Controller. Care should be taken

Sensor Wire

when putting the Sensor Wire into the Sensor Housing. The cap is then put in place and the mounting

 

screw is installed. A slot is provided in the cap for the wire to exit. The three-wire socket connector

 

must be properly installed in the controller. Stops on the connector prevent improper (upside down)

 

assembly. Do not force the connector past the stops.

90522 Turbine

The turbine must have a 1/8" diameter Rare Earth magnet pressed into place adjacent to the axle

Assembly

opening. When assembled to the axle, the Turbine should spin freely. Do not use any lubricants. If the

 

Turbine should become “jammed,” clean and flush the Turbine and Bypass Valve.
