INSTALL BYPASS VALVE:
NOTE: On Demand
timer models, be
sure the turbine and
support are firmly in
place, in the valve
outlet. Blow into the
valve port and ob-
serve the turbine for
turbine support & shaft
free rotation.
 Push the bypass valve (lubricate o-ring seals)
into both ports of the valve...figures 1A and 1C.
 Snap the 2 large plastic clips in place, from the
top, down...figures 1A and 1B. Be sure they snap
into place. Pull on the adaptors, or bypass valve,
to make sure they held securely in place.

INSTALL THE BRINE TANK OVERFLOW
FITTINGS:
 Insert the rubber grommet into the 3/4" diameter
hole in the brine tank sidewall...see page 8.
 Push the barbed end of the hose adaptor elbow
into the grommet.

MOVE THE SOFTENER ASSEMBLY
INTO INSTALLATION POSITION:
 Be sure the installation surface is level and
smooth. If needed, place the tank on a section of
2 cm thick (min.) plywood. Then, place shims under
the plywood as needed to level the softener.
