To drain the softener —

1.Close the shut-off valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank.

2.Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent pressure in the softener.

3.Refer to FIG. 12 on page 19. Move the stem in a single bypass valve to bypass. Close the inlet and outlet valve in a 3-valve bypass system, and open the bypass valve. If you want water in the house pipes again, reopen the shut-off valve on the main water pipe.

4.Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet. Remove the salt hole cover and the main cover. Take off both drain hoses.

5.Carefully remove the large holding clips at the softener inlet and outlet (see Key No. 61, on page 30). Separate the softener from the adaptors or bypass valve.

6.Remove the brinewell cover and disconnect the brine valve tubing at the nozzle and venturi assembly (see page 30). Lift the brine valve out of the brinewell. Tip the brine valve upside down to drain out water.

7.Looking at FIG. 11, lay a piece of 2 inch thick board near the floor drain. Move the softener close to the drain. SLOWLY and CAREFUL- LY tip it over until the rim rests on the wood block with the inlet and outlet over the drain.

Do not allow the softener’s weight to rest on the inlet and outlet fittings or they will break.

8.Tip the bottom of the softener up a few inches and hold until all water has drained. Leave the softener laying like this until you are ready to use it. Plug the inlet and outlet with rags to keep dirt, bugs, etc. out.
