sTeP 1 CONNECT TO WATER SUPPLY
A. Shut off the main water supply to the house.
Open the hose bib to relieve pressure and
drain out water. Close the hose bib. Place a
bucket or the softener brine tank under the
softener loop to catch the excess water that
will spill out when you cut the pipe. Cut the
plumbing loop off. Determine the inlet side
of the loop by turning the main water on very
slightly until water comes out of one of the
sides of the loop. This is the inlet supply.
WARNING: You must connect the incom-
ing side of the softener/conditioner to
the inlet supply from the loop. Failure to
connect with the proper directional flow can
damage the water softener/conditioner and
your household plumbing.
B. Install ¾" or 1" mip adapters, or ¾" or 1" union
nipples and valve is ready for pipe connec
tions.
2. Aquanex™ bypass valve connection:
a. Install drain hose barb. Use Teflon
tape on threads. Hose barb can point
up or down.
