Installation will vary but should consist of:
a: A pressure regulating valve on the water supply to the softener where the
incoming pressure exceeds 6 bar.
b: A non-return valve on the mains water supply to the softener.
c: A by-pass assembly which enables the softener to be isolated from the water
supply for maintenance and service. This also maintains the water supply when
the system is disconnected.
d: A drain line from the softener to a waste pipe through an appropriate air gap.
The drain must comply with local plumbing codes.
e: An overflow run to a suitable outlet that is visible.
Ensure you have the following:
a: Kinetico blending by-pass valve
plus a single check valve.
b: Connections for the inlet and outlet, either by means of flexible pressure rated
hoses or by direct pipework. Connections on the softener and the Kinetico
blending by-pass valve are 3/4” BSP male threaded fittings.
c: 1/2” ID hose for both the overflow and the drain.
