Water Line Connections
A bypass valve system should be installed on all water
conditioning systems. A model 1265 bypass is included with this
system. Bypass valves isolate the conditioner from the water
system and allow unconditioned water to be used. Service or
routine maintenance procedures may also require that the system
is bypassed. Service during routine maintenance and servicing
procedures. The illustrations below show the two common bypass
methods.

If the floor under the media tank is uneven, level as needed.
WARNING: The media tank contains loose
particles that will shift. If the tank is turned
upside down or laid back quickly, the particles
may enter the valve. If this happens, the valve
may need to be disassembled and cleaned.
