4.5.6.3 Bypass assembly
NOTE
The following procedure is only valid for softener with bypass configuration.
The bypass assembly connects to the water system by means of a connector assembly. The connector
is secured to the plumbing and then inserted into the bypass. Clips are used to hold it in place.
Before inserting the connector:
• check that all O-rings are in place and not damaged;
• O-rings are pre-lubricated. Sliding surfaces should be lubricated with 100% silicone grease.
A Firmly insert connector (3) into bypass.
B Press the locking clip (1) into position. Make certain the clip is fully engaged.
CAUTION
Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two handles (4) on the bypass valve 2 or
3 times. This will help to place the O-rings and prevent leaking.
To remove a clip:
A Turn off water and release water pressure at the valve.
B Push the water line connectors (3) into the bypass and valve. This will help release O-rings that
may have seated in place.
C Remove the clips (1) by inserting a flat screwdriver (2) under the top centre of the clip and lifting
(prying up).
CAUTION
Do not use pliers to remove a clip. It is likely the clip will break.
