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.
4. Attach the bypass valve to the control valve. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water softener to the plumbing in the house. The control valve must not be subjected to temperatures above 71°C (160°F). To avoid damaging the control valve when sweat fittings are used, solder the threaded copper adapters to the copper pipe and then, using teflon tape, screw the assembly into the bypass valve. CAUTION - do not use pipe thread compound as it may attack the material in the valve body. 5.

Salt Settings are factory set and should not need adjustment WTCA45...................................8 lbs Automatic Bypass The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 2-1/2 hours, after which soft water service will be restored. During regeneration, hard water is automatically bypassed for use in the household. Hot water should be used as little as possible during this time to prevent hard water from filling the water heater.
Maintenance Checking the Salt Level 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.
