CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER

II

3C. KEEP THE SOFTENER FROM FREEZING

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:

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.

e If a single bypass valve is installed, move the stem into bypass. See FIG. 12 on page 18. In a 3-valve bypass system, close the inlet and outlet

valve 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.

5.Remove the salt hole cover and the main cover. Take off both drain hoses.

6.Carefully remove the large holding clips at the softener inlet and outlet (see Key No. 6], on page

30). Separate the softener from the adaptors or bypass valve.

7.Remove the brinewell cover and disconnect the

brine valve tubing at the nozzle and venturi

assembly (see page 23). Lift the brine valve out of

the brinewell. Tip the brine valve upside down to drain out water.
