INSTALLATION 

 

Page 5 

INLET & OUTLET 

 

 

Check the water pressure at the place of installation  of 

the water softener; it should never exceed 8,3 bar. 
 

 

In case of high concentration of impurities in the inlet  

water, we recommend the installation of a sediment filter, 
ahead of the water softener. 
 

 

We  strongly  recommend  the  use  of  flexible  hoses  to 

connect  the  water  softener  to  the  water  distribution 
system;  use  hoses  with  a  large  diameter  in  order  to  limit 
the pressure loss. 

 

 

If the  water softener  is  not  equipped  with  the factory 

bypass  (optional),  we  strongly  recommend  to  install  a  3-
valve  bypass  system  (not  included  with  this  product!)  to 
isolate  the  water  softener  from  the  water  distribution 
system in case of repairs. It allows to turn off the water to 
the  water  softener,  while  maintaining  (untreated)  water 
supply to the user. 
 
WITH FACTORY BYPASS KIT (optional) 

 = mains water supply (untreated water) 

 = elbow connection-inlet (untreated water) 

 = inlet of water softener (treated water) 

 = outlet of water softener (treated water) 

 = elbow connection-outlet (treated water) 

 = house/application (treated water) 

 

1.

 

Screw  the  elbow  connections  onto  the  control  valve; 
the long elbow onto the inlet port (

), the short elbow 

onto  the  outlet  port  (

);  make  sure  to  install  the 

gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand. 

2.

 

Screw the factory bypass onto the elbow connections 
(

&

); make sure to install the gasket seals. Tighten 

the nuts firmly by hand. 

3.

 

Screw  the  brass  connection  kit  with  nuts  onto  the 
factory  bypass  (

&

);  make  sure  to  install  the 

gasket seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand. 

4.

 

Connect  the  mains  water  supply  to  the  brass  nipple 
on the inlet port of the factory bypass (

). 

5.

 

Connect the house/application to the brass nipple on 
the outlet port of the factory bypass (

). 

 
WITH 3-VALVE BYPASS SYSTEM (not included) 

 

 = mains water supply (untreated water) 

 = inlet of water softener (untreated water) 

 = outlet of water softener (treated water) 

 = house/application (treated water) 

 
1.

 

Install the 3-valve bypass system. 

2.

 

Screw  the  brass  connection  kit  with  nuts  onto  the 
control  valve (

&

);  make  sure  to install the gasket 

seals. Tighten the nuts firmly by hand. 

3.

 

Connect the 3-valve bypass system to the brass nipples 
on the elbow connections (

&

). 

4.

 

Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the 3-
valve bypass system (

). 

5.

 

Connect the  house/application to the  outlet of  the  3-
