• Do not point the soldering torch directly at the mineral tank or
control valve. These composite materials will last a lifetime, but
cannot withstand the intense heat from a torch.
• Avoid short connections of pipe between the system and the
water heater. If you can't avoid a short connection, move the
system to another location. As a last resort, install a heat trap or
check valve. If this causes "water hammer", install a water
hammer suppressor.
7. Provide Untreated Water for Irrigation or
Outdoor Watering
• If available, run an untreated water line to outside faucet or
provide a hose connection on untreated line prior to system.
8. Install the Pipe Connector (Yoke) to the
Bypass Valve
Bypass Valve
• Once the plumbing is complete, connect the yoke to the bypass
valve (see figure 1).
• Support all plumbing connected to the yoke.
• Connect the raw water supply to the inlet pipe connection of the
yoke. When looking at the front of the system, the inlet is the
pipe connection on the right side of the valve (see figure 2). The
arrow molded into valve indicates the direction of flow.
• Connect the treated water pipe to the outlet pipe connection on
the yoke. When looking at the front of the system, the outlet is
the pipe connection on the left side of the valve (see figure 2).
The arrow molded into the valve indicates the direction of flow.
9. Set the Bypass Valve to Bypass
•Move the bypass valve handles to the bypass position. The valve
handles should be perpendicular to the pipes (see figure 3).

!
Important Note: Short connec-
tions of pipe may allow hot water
to back up into the system.
!
Important Note: The bypass valve
is not designed to withstand heat
from soldering or twisting from
the attached threaded connec-
tions.
!
Important Note: Too much weight
on the plumbing connections will
cause a leak.
