Figure 14. Bypass Installation View

In the case of emergency, such as an overflowing brine tank, you can isolate your water softener

from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In normal

operation the bypass is open with the on/off knobs in line with the inlet and outlet pipes. To isolate

the softener, simply rotate the knobs clockwise (as indicated by the word BYPASS and arrow) until

they lock. You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the water supply is bypassing

the softener. However, the water you use will be hard. To resume soft water service, open bypass

valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise.

Use only crystal water softener salt. Check the salt level monthly. It is important to maintain the

salt level above the water level. To add salt, simply lift the salt lid and add the salt directly into the

brine tank. Be sure the brine well cover is on and fill only to the height of the brine well.

Humidity or wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This action,

known as "bridging", prevents the brine solution from being made, leading to your water supply

being hard.

If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the brine tank or pour some warm

water over the salt to break up the bridge. This should always be followed up by allowing the unit

to use up any remaining salt and then thoroughly cleaning out the brine tank. Allow four hours to

produce a brine solution, then manually regenerate the softener.

To retain the attractive appearance of your new water softener, clean occasionally with mild soap

solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents. Never subject your softener to

freezing or to temperatures above 120°F.

Sediment, salt and silt will restrict or clog the injector. A clean water supply and pure salt will

prevent this from happening.

The injector assembly is located on the right side of the control valve. This assembly is easy to

clean.
