CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER

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 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.

e Carefully remove the large holding clips at

the softener inlet and outlet (see Key No. 61,

on page 30). Separate the softener from the
