SECTION3CARE OF YOUR WATER SOFTENER

C. PROTECT THE WATER SOFTENER

If the softener is installed where it could freeze

(summer cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain all

water from it to stop possible freeze damage. To drain the softener:

FROM FREEZING

Drain All Water From Softener

_1 Close the shut-off valve on the house main wa-

ter pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank.

_]m Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent

pressure in the softener.

_ Refer to FIG. 14 on page 4-1. 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.

Looking at FIG. 12, lay a piece of 2 inch thick board near the floor drain. Move the softener

close to the drain. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY,

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.

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.
