THE SOFTENER IN AND OUT PIPES

The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electrical outlets in the

home. Outlets are grounded to protect you from shock when you touch any electric appliance

plugged into the outlet. If you installed the

single bypass valve (FIG. 15), the cold water pipe ground is broken.

To restore the ground, take the ground clamp kit

that is on the cardboard liner. Install across the inlet and outlet copper tubes as shown in FIG. 16. Be sure
