When and
How to
Bypass Your
Water Filter
Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water lter. There are times when the
water lter should be bypassed, using the Cul-Flo-Valv
®
Bypass, or a 3-way bypass valve. You
should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water lter, and you do not want to waste soft
water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2.
If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge while
you’re away.
Bypass Valve
In the back of Culligan water lters is a Cul-Flo-Valv
®
Bypass. To bypass unit, simply turn the blue
knob clockwise. To return to soft water service, reverse the procedure - turn the blue knob counter-
clockwise.
