4.5.6.2 Bypassing
• Softener with bypass configuration: a bypass valve system is provided with the installation kit.
• Softener with manifold configuration: a bypass valve system have to be installed upstream the
installation (not provided in the installation kit).
Bypass valves isolate the softener from main water line and allow unconditioned water to be used.
Service or routine maintenance procedures may also require that the system is bypassed.
CAUTION
Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
CAUTION
Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings. Over time, stress may break the connections.
When the bypass valve is used, only hand tighten the plastic nuts.
CAUTION
Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing. Use only 100%
silicone grease products when installing any plastic valve. Non-silicone grease may cause
plastic components to fail over time.
