•Pick your installation point, and cut a section of pipe out to run to and from your
softener. NOTE: In many cases, it is preferred to keep outside lines
UNSOFTENED. If you wish to keep your outside lines unsoftened, you must
plumb “Bypass” lines to run hard water to these fixtures.
•Using soldered copper, PVC plastic pipe, or flexible connections, plumb the
system according to all local plumbing codes. NOTE: If using copper pipe,
please pre-fabricate at least a 12” section of pipe for the “IN” and “OUT”
bound lines and use a wet rag on the lines being soldered to prevent heat
damage during soldering!
•Once all connections have been made, place the system into bypass by either
using your existing 3-valve bypass (if ordered with a Yoke adaptor), or by
switching your included bypass to “BYPASS” (if ordered with a Bypass)
•Next, gradually open your main valve and allow all air in your plumbing lines to
escape slowly. Also, you may turn off all outside and inside faucets and fixtures.
•Check for leaks at your plumbing site for signs of slow drips, and rectify if
necessary.
•Please do not take the softener out of “BYPASS” as the installation is completed
yet! NOTE: Please take this opportunity to check and re-check the “IN” and
“OUT” to make sure that they are correct!
Making the Brine Tank Connection:
•onto one side of the included Brine Tubing as shown in Figure 11 below.

•Tighten the nut to the valve using a wrench until snugly in place. Be careful not to
over tighten, as you may sever the brine line tubing.
•Locate the included brine tank, and remove the brine tank cover shown on the
following page in Figure 13.
•Next, locate the brine well, and remove the cap as shown in Figure 14 on the
following page.
