Installation Instructions
TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY
1. Close the main water supply valve, located near the well pump or water meter.
2. Open all faucets to drain all water from house pipes. NOTE: Be sure not to drain water from the water
heater, as damage to the water heater ele- ments could result.
INSTALL THE BRINE TANK OVERFLOW ELBOW
Install the brine tank overflow grommet and elbow in the 13/16” diameter hole in the back of the salt storage tank sidewall.
NOTE: The brine tank overflow elbow accepts either 1/2” or 3/8” I.D. hose.
MOVE THE WATER SOFTENER INTO PLACE
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install water softener.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1. Move the water softener into the desired location. Set it on a solid, level surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not place shims directly under the salt storage tank to level the softener. The weight of the tank, when full of water and salt, may cause the tank to fracture at the shim.
2. Visually check and remove any debris from the water softener valve inlet and outlet ports.
3. Make sure the turbine assembly spins freely in the "out" port of the valve.
4. If not already done, put a light coating of silicone grease on the single bypass valve
5. Push the single bypass valve into the softener valve as far as it will go. Snap the two large holding clips into place, from the top down as shown in Figures 11 & 12.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the clips snap firmly into place so the single bypass valve will not pull out.
