Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included
with the softener. To maintain full valve
flow, 3/4” or 1” pipes to and from the sof-
tener fittings are recommended. You
should maintain the same, or larger, pipe
size as the water supply pipe, up to the
softener inlet and outlet.
Use copper, brass, or PEX pipe and fittings.
Some codes may also allow PVC plastic
pipe.
ALWAYS install the included bypass valve,
or 3 shut-off valves. Bypass valves let you

How Your Water Conditioner Works
The principle behind water softening is simple chemistry. A water softener contains resin
beads which hold electrically charged ions. When hard water passes through the softener,
calcium and magnesium ions are attracted to the charged resin beads. It's the resulting re-
moval of calcium and magnesium ions that produces soft water.
