Installation Instructions CAUTION: If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the Noryl bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity.
2. Water to supply outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not be softened. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply hard water to the inlet of the water softener and to the outside faucets. Cut the water line between where it enters the house; before any lines that branch off to feed the hot water heater or other fixtures in the house; and as near the desired location of the water softener as possible.
Drain Line Connection NOTE: W aste connections or drain outlet shall be designed and constructed to provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air-gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch (22 mm) whichever is larger. WARNING: N ever insert drain line directly into a drain, sewer line, or trap. Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the conditioner.
Operating Instructions Setting the Time of Day (Figure 3) This is a 24-hour timer and must correspond with the correct time on your wrist watch to ensure proper cycling of your conditioner.

Checking the Salt Level Maintenance Check the salt level monthly. Remove the lid from the cabinet or brine tank, make sure salt level is always above the brine level (you should not be able to see water). Adding Salt Use only clean salt labeled for water conditioner use, such as crystal, pellet, nugget, button or solar. The use of rock salt is discouraged because it contains insoluble silt and sand which build up in the brine tank and can cause problems with the system’s operation.
