SECTION3STEP BY STEP GUIDES TO INSTALL
C. LOCATE WATER SOFTENER,
_MOVE THE SOFTENER INTO PLACE
Move the softener into place, onto a level and
smooth surface. If needed, put a piece of 3/4"
plywood, at least 17" x 20", under the tank. Then
put spacers under the plywood to level the soft- ener. Do not put shims or spacers directly under
the tank, without the plywood. The weight of the softener, when full of salt and water, may
cause the tank to puncture or break at the shim or spacer.
AND CONNECT PIPES
MOVE SOFTENER INTO PLACE
To move the softener, grip under the ridge on the salt tank sidewall and carefully rock back and forth, into position.

TYPICAL SOLDERING
CONNECTIONS
pipe and fittings together up to the main water pipe, or to the bypass valve(s) you installed on page 3- 3.
Notes:
• Include adaptors, reducers, union fittings, etc., as needed.
•Cut pipe lengths exact for correct aligning, and to
prevent stress on the softener valve.
•Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on out- side pipe threads.
•When all piping fits together...
...solder | all | sweat fittings. | |
...prime | and | cement | all PVC joints. |
...tighten | all | threaded | joints. |
[] CAUTIONS:
• Never solder fittings while connected to non- metallic parts. Wait until soldered pipe has cooled
before connection (see fig. 11).
• Be careful when putting pipe fittings together. Do not cross thread, and do not overtighten.
Water Pipe
5.Solder pipe to elbow. Note: To be certain heat will not travel
down the pipe and into the softener valve
or bypass valve, wrap the pipe in a wet rag.
6.Repeat procedure on outlet side.
