Installation Instructions

Step 5. Cold Water Pipe Grounding

CAUTION: The house cold water pipe (metal only)

is often used as a ground for the house

electrical system, The 3-valve bypass

type of installation, shown in Figure 8,

will maintain ground continuity. If you

use a plastic bypass valve at the unit,

continuity is broken. To restore the

ground, do the following:

1. Install a #4 copper wire across the removed section

of main water pipe, securely clamping it at both

ends (See Figure 14) - parts not included.

NOTE: Check local plumbing and electrical codes

for proper installation of the ground wire.

The installation must conform to them. In

Massachusetts, plumbing codes of

Massachusetts shall be conformed to.

Consult with your licensed plumber.

Step 7. Install Salt Storage Tank

Over flow Hose

1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8"

drain line (provided) to the salt storage tank over-

flow elbow and secure in place with a hose clamp.

2 Run the hose to the floor drain, or other suitable

drain point no higher than the drain fitting on the salt

storage tank (This is a gravity drain). If the tank

overfills with water, the excess water flows to the

drain point. Cut the drain line to the desired length

and route it neatly out of the way.

IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the water soften-

er, do not connect the water softener

valve drain hose from Step 6 to the salt

storage tank overflow hose.

Step 8. Pressure Testing for Leaks

To prevent air pressure in the water softener and

plumbing system, do the following steps exactly in

order:

1. Fully open two or more softened cold water faucets

nearby the water softener, located downstream from

the water softener.

2. Place the single bypass valve or 3 valve bypass in

"bypass" position. See Figures 7 & 8.

3. Fully open the main water supply valve. Run water

until there is a steady flow from the opened faucets,

with no air bubbles.

4. Place bypass valve(s) in "service" or soft water posi-

tion exactly as follows:

= Single bypass valve: Slowly move the valve stem

toward "service," pausing several times to allow

the water softener to fill with water.

= 3 valve bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and

open the outlet valve. Slowly open the inlet

valve, pausing several times to allow the water

softener to fill with water.

5. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet

until there is a steady flow and there are no air bub-

bles, then close this faucet.

6. Close all cold water faucets and check for leaks at

the plumbing connections that you made.

7. Check for leaks around clips at softener’s inlet and

outlet. If a leak occurs at a clip, depressurize the

plumbing (turn off the water supply and open

faucets) before removing clip. When removing clips

at the softener’s inlet or outlet, push the single

Step 6. Install Valve Drain Hose

NOTE: See valve drain options on pages 7 & 8.

1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8"

drain line (provided) to the water softener valve

drain fitting. Use a hose clamp to hold the hose in

place.

IMPORTANT: If codes require a rigid drain line see

“Valve Drain requirements" section.

2. Run the drain hose (or a rigid line) to the floor drain.

Secure drain hose. This will prevent “whipping'' dur-

ing regenerations. Be sure to provide a 1-1/2”

minimum air gap to prevent possible sewer

water backup. See “Air Gap Requirements" sec-

tion.

NOTE: In addition to a floor drain, you can use a laun-

dry tub or standpipe as a good drain point for

this hose.. Avoid long drain hose runs, or ele-

vating the hose more than 8’ above the floor.
