1. Turn off the mains water supply to the house by closing the stopcock. Then drain the
pipe by opening the kitchen tap.

sealed with flat rubber seal. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE NUT.
4. Connect a hose between the softener inlet and the inlet valve, then, connect a hose
between the softener outlet and the outlet valve.
5. Turn off the inlet, outlet and bypass valves.
6. The drinking water tap connection and the garden tap connection should be made in the
pipe between the stopcock and the bypass valve.
7. Run the drain hose to the nearest waste pipe, typically a washing machine type
standpipe. Cut off the excess hose, this is used for the overflow pipe. Install an air gap to the
standpipe and connect the drain pipe to the air gap.
8. From the brine tank, push the overflow hose on to the overflow connection on the side
of the cabinet and run it downhill to the outside of the house, keep the hose as short as possible.
9. Connect the brine tube between the softener and the brine tank. Shorten the tube to
suit. Push the tube ends into the elbow connectors on the softener and salt tank.
