OUTDOOR LOCATIONS

It is recommended that the system be installed
indoors. When the water conditioning system
must be installed outdoors, several items must be
considered.
• Moisture — The valve and 706 controller are
rated for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water
should not affect performance.
The system is not designed to withstand
extreme humidity or water spray from below.
Examples are: constant heavy mist, near
corrosive environment, upwards spray from
sprinkler.
• Direct Sunlight — The materials used will
fade or discolor over time in direct sunlight.
The integrity of the materials will not degrade
to cause system failures.

WATER LINE CONNECTION

1. Shut off the main water supply to the house.
2. Open the hose bib to relieve pressure and
drain out water. Close the hose bib. Place a
bucket or the softener brine tank under the
softener loop to catch the excess water that
will spill out when you cut the pipe. Cut the
plumbing loop off.
3. Determine the inlet side of the loop by turning
the main water on very slightly until water
comes out of one of the sides of the loop. This
is the inlet supply.
WARNING: You must connect the incoming side
of the softener/conditioner to the inlet supply
from the loop. Failure to connect with the proper
directional flow can damage the water softener/
conditioner and your household plumbing.
A bypass valve system is included and should be
installed on all water conditioning systems (Figure
9 Series 360 Bypass Normal Operation). Bypass
valves isolate the softener from the water system
and allow unconditioned water to be used. Service
or routine maintenance procedures may also require
that the system is bypassed.
IMPORTANT: The bypass valve is shipped to you
in the bypass position (Figure 9). When the valve
is in bypass water will not enter the softening
tank. The water in the building will not be treated.
Figure 9, shows the handles in the service
position.

• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold
temperatures may cause damage to the
valve or controller.
Freezing temperatures will freeze the water
in the valve. This will cause physical damage
to the internal parts as well as the plumbing.
High temperatures will affect the controller.
The display may become unreadable but the
controller should continue to function. When
the temperature drops down into normal
operating limits the display will return to
normal.
• Insects — The controller and valve have
been designed to keep all but the smallest
insects out of the critical areas. The top
cover should be installed securely in place.

WARNING: When replacing non-Pentair Water
valves, it is possible that the inlet and outlet
plumbing is installed in a reversed position.
Be certain the inlet connection on the valve is
connected to the incoming water fitting from the
water supply.
WARNING: Do not use petroleum grease on
gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing.
Use only 100% silicone grease products when
installing any plastic valve. Non-silicone grease
may cause plastic components to fail over time.
4. Install 3/4" or 1" mip adapters, or 3/4" or 1"
union nipples and valve is ready for pipe
connections.
a. Insert tailpieces through union nuts.
b. Attach tailpieces by soldering to the inlet
and outlet of the plumbing loop..
c. Place rubber gaskets into the union nuts
and thread onto the bypass valve body. It
is not necessary to use lubricant or sealant
on rubber gasket or union nuts.
d. Place bypass valve into the bypass position
by rotating the handles so they are both
perpendicular to the flow path of the inlet
and outlet water stream.
e. Optional - Or use SS Flex Lines.
