Water Softener Installation Checklist

  • Hard water is plumbed to the softener valve inlet
  • Bypass valve stem is positioned for soft water “service”
  • Valve drain hose runs directly to an acceptable drain point, and is not pinched, kinked or more than eight feet above the floor.
    Note: an air-gap should be provided at the drain point
  • The brine tank overflow hose is a gravity drain, be sure the hose is not raised higher than the fitting on the tank
