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
elements could result.
INSTALL THE BRINE TANK OVERFLOW
ADAPTER
Install the brine tank overflow grommet and
adapter in the 13/16" diameter hole in the back
of the salt storage tank sidewall, (see Figure 9).
NOTE: The brine tank overflow adapter accepts
either 1/2" or 3/8" I.D. hose.
INSTALL THE BYPASS VALVE
NOTE: For easier installation, remove the top
cover. Release 2 clips at rear of cover. Rotate
cover forward and lift up.
1. Remove two clips from the water softener
valve inlet and outlet ports and visually check
and remove any debris, (see Figure 7).
2. Make sure the turbine assembly spins freely
in the"out" port of the valve, (see Figure 8).
3. If not already done, put a light coating of
silicone grease (provided) on the single
bypass valve o-rings, (see Figure 7).
4. 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, (see Figure 7 and 10).
IMPORTANT: Be sure the clips snap firmly into
place so the single bypass valve will not pull
out.

salt, may cause the tank to fracture at the shim.
