Install the softener pressure vessel(s) in a chosen place on a flat firm surface.
3.1
During cold weather, it is recommended to bring the valve back to room temperature before
3.2
operating.
All plumbing for water inlet, distribution and drain lines should be done correctly in accordance
3.3
with legislation in force at the time of installation. Install without tension or bending stresses.
The distribution tube should be cut flush with the top of the tank. Slightly bevel the ridge in order
3.4
to avoid deterioration of the seal whilst fitting the valve.
Lubricate the distribution tube joint and the joint with a 100% Silicon lubricant. Never use other
3.5
types of greases that may damage the valve.
All soldering on main plumbing and to the drain line should be done before fitting the valve.
3.6
Failing to do so can generate irreversible damages.
Use Teflon ® tape if necessary in order to seal between the drain fitting and the outlet flow
3.7
control.
On units with by-pass, place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold
3.8
water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material
(usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.
Place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the mineral tank. When water flow

stops, slowly open a cold water tap nearby and let run until the air is purged from the unit.
Plug the valve to a power source. Check that the valve is in service position

3.12
order to draw water from the brine tank until the blockage of the air check; the water level will
be approximatively in the middle of the air check.
Open a cold water tap and let the water run in order to drain the air out of the circuit.
3.13
Bring the valve in brine refill position and let it get back to service position automatically.
