By-pass

Your Signature Series water softener may have been installed with a sliding by-
pass valve, which is convenient to take the system offline for service or while you
use water for other purposes. To by-pass the system, simply push on the blue
side of the by-pass handle until it firmly seats in the valve and exposes the red
indicator on the opposite side. To place your system back into service (online),
push the red side of the handle completely into the valve until the blue indicator is
fully exposed.
The sliding by-pass valve is also equipped with a blending feature that allows you
to adjust how soft your water is. If you prefer to blend a small amount of hard
water into your soft water, use the adjustment screw on the housing of the by-
pass valve to open the blending valve. Kinetico recommends that you open the
valve slightly at first, and then test your water over the course of the next couple
days to determine if the blend level is what you prefer. If not, continue to make
small adjustments as necessary until your water quality meets your expectations.
Note: By-pass styles vary and yours may not be as described. Contact your
Kinetico dealer for further assistance.

Cold Weather Protection

If your Signature water softener is installed outside or in an area that is not
heated, you may want to take precautionary measures to prevent damage to
your unit from freezing.
Note: Kinetico's warranty doesn't cover damage to your system due to freezing. If
you have questions about your Kinetico water system, or if you suspect that
it isn't working properly, contact your local, authorized Kinetico dealer.

Sanitizing the System

Signature water softeners are intended for use on microbiologically safe water
supplies. If the inlet water supply's safety is compromised for any reason (for
example a "Boil Alert" from a municipal supply or positive bacteria test on a well),
you should by-pass the system until bacteriological safety has been restored.
You should then contact your Kinetico dealer to sanitize the system before
returning the system to service.

Iron Cleaning

If the inlet water supply contains iron, it is highly recommended to use salt that
contains an iron cleaning additive (for example, Kinetico Salt with Iron Fighter
additive). The iron cleaning additive will prevent iron from fouling the resin and
keep your system in optimal condition. Alternately, you can add iron cleaning
agents in powder form to the brine tank when you replenish the salt supply.
Contact your Kinetico dealer for additional information about iron cleaning.
