By-Pass - Kinetico MACH Serie Manual Del Propietário

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push down firmly on the softener valve
screw (Fig.4) and slowly turn clockwise until the actuator has advanced the
indicator dot to the "BRINE" position (Fig.4). You should hear at least
five "clicks" while turning the screw before the indicator dot reaches the
"BRINE" position. At this point you should hear water begin to run
through the system. If you do not hear water running through the system,
the indicator dot has not been advanced far enough. Repeat the proce-
dure for manual regeneration after the water flow stops (11-90 minutes,
depending on the model) to be sure both resin tanks are regenerated.
Note: If your hot water tank has refilled with hard water, it may take several
days for it to empty and for your water to feel soft again.

By-pass

There may be times when you need to shut off the water supply to your
entire house. To do this, set the by-pass valve to the "OFF" position.
No water will flow through the house. To restart the water, set the by-
pass valve to the "SERVICE" position. You may put the softener into
by-pass at any time, if necessary, by putting the by-pass valve into the
"BY-PASS" position. You will still get water throughout the house;
however, all of the water will be untreated. To return the softener to
service, set the by-pass valve to the "SERVICE" position.
Note: By-pass styles vary and yours may not be as described. Contact your
Kinetico dealer for further assistance.
