Note: If you need to remove the valve cover for ease of
installation simply release the two catches behind the valve
cover and tilt top end towards you slowly, taking care not to
pull off the wire connections.
Please note that the valve cover is connected to the valve
motor, so cannot be removed fully.
PLUMBING
Turn off the water supply at the incoming main and begin
plumbing as per the installation instructions on page 5.
FIT THE BYPASS KIT
Cut off the rising main and install the inlet tee with check valve
using 15mm reducer if required. Next, plumb the bypass,
inlet and outlet valves and outlet tee, using 15mm reducer if
required, so that the water supply can be turned back on.
Use the threaded valves for the inlet and outlet and the
compression valve for the bypass. Before turning the water
back on, make sure the bypass is open and the inlet and outlet
valves are closed. This will allow water to pass directly to the
household system without it diverting to the water softener.
See Valve Hard Water Bypass poition diagram below.
(The use of the plastic plumbing fittings with copper pipe may affect the
electrical earthing or bonding of the copper pipe. If in doubt, we advise that
you contact a qualified electrician for advice).
To bypass softener, ensure bypass is open (horizontal) as
per right hand diagram below.
