Open water supply
and enjoy all the
benefits of soft
water. *Turn handle
to the bypass
position (figure #2)
to have non-
softened water. For
example, when you
water the lawn, you
do not want to waste
softened water.
4When to Regenerate RV Softener...
Check water inside your RV or at the outlet side of
the RV Softener with the test strips supplied. If
water tests more than 3 grains hard (50ppm) it is
time to regenerate the RV Softener following the
instructions on the next page, download the PDF,
or watch the Regeneration video.
