Wh en 8z How- To Use The Bypass Valve

The bypass valve is intended to provide isolation of the system malfunction, leak, or if the use of untreated water for watering plants, shrubs, or lawns

is not available otherwise.

Facing your appliance from the front, the bypass is located on the main control valve (See '

below.) To engage the bypass, locate the cone-shaped knob on the right hand side, behind

the controller. Turn the knob counter-clockwise until it stops. Now the appliance is bypassed and all water to the home is raw, untreated water.

To prevent untreated water from entering the home, do not use water while watering your

landscape.

clock-wise until it stops.

When watering is finished, return the appliance to service by turning the knob

appliance in the event of a

Blending Valve Adjustment

In some situations, a blending valve may be desired. The amount of hardness blended back

into the water line is determined by the hardness of the incoming water and the setting of the

blending valve. Where extremely hard water is present, the blending valve may only need to

be "cracked" open. Where the incoming water has relatively low levels of hardness, the

blending valve will need to be opened further. The blending valve is located between the

input and output connections on the top of the bypass valve. It is adjusted by placing a flat

blade screwdriver in the slot provided and turning clockwise to open. Total movement of the

blending valve from full closed to full open is 1/4 revolution. Precise setting of the blending

valve will require "trial and error" testing. The initial setting should be conservative. Because of the blending valve's ease of access and adjustment, the end user can increase or decrease the setting according to their preference over a period of time.

water when required (i.e. for lawn and gardening purposes.) See page 5.

Installation tip:

if the installation includes backfeeding the water heater for soft water service, a minimum of 10 feet of pipe is recommended between the outlet of the appliance and the inlet of the water heater. This reduces the potential for hot water backup into the

WaterMax.

90246 Bypass Housing:

"Hard Water" Blending Valve and Bypass Piston. The recommended seal for the 1 '/" male inlet-outlet threads is the plastic Hook-up Nut (90251), 0-ring (90837), and Copper Adapter (90254). Make sure the 0-ring is

between the Housing and Copper Adapter. The 0-ring seal areas at the Main Valve Body inlet and outlet must be smooth and free of defects and debris, and lubricated with silicone grease before assembling. ing to the Main Valve Body, put the 0-rings on the male bosses on the Valve Body and push the Bypass into

place; if not, the 0-rings may be "pinched". If the 0-rings are pinched, replace with new ones. The Bypass is pre-assembled with the Sensor housing and turbine axle. These are not field serviceable and if damaged, must

be replaced with a new assembly. The Bypass Piston bore is to be smooth and, at the recessed areas, have a

smooth transition (no sharp corners) to the seat areas.

with an 0-ring used as an axial or "face" seal. The 0-ring sits in a groove in the End Cap. This groove must be free of defects such as pits or scratches and also free of debris.

care should be taken to make sure that the 0-ring stays in the groove in the End Cap. If misaligned, the 0-ring can become pinched and leak. Also, on the End Cap is the Piston Axle, a '/" square shaft that acts as a guide / slide and anti-turning mechanism for the Bypass Piston.

93583 Drive End Cap:

opening is sealed with an 0-ring used as an axial or "face" seal. The 0-ring sits in a groove in the

End Cap. This groove must be free of defects such as pits or scratches and also free of debris.

The smaller diameter seal is accomplished with an 0-ring used as a radial seal. The 0-ring should

be placed on the male boss on the End Cap. When assembling the End Cap to the Valve Body, care should be taken to make sure the small 0-ring is aligned with the opening in the Valve Body

and that the large 0-ring stays in the groove in the End Cap. If misaligned, the 0-rings can become pinched and leak.

place by the quad ring retainer (5). The brine valve housing has four retaining lugs that secure

the quad ring retainer. Just inside the entrance hole for the Brine Piston (1) is a concave seat

area that must be free of defects such as nicks, indentations or debris. If any defects are detected by visual inspection, repair or replace as needed.

To replace the Quad-ring, it will be necessary to remove the brine valve housing assembly

from the drive end cap (after by-passing and depressurizing the conditioning appliance). Push the piston assembly (1) out of the housing. To remove the quad ring retainer (5) push in and turn "clockwise" to unlock the retainer. CAUTION! Do not attempt to remove the retainer with

the piston assembly in place. This will damage the housing and/or the retainer. Push the piston

back into the housing to dislodge the old quad-ring (4) and discard it. Remove the piston, insert

the new Quad-ring and lock the retainer onto the housing by pushing in and turning "counter-

clockwise" to secure the Quad-ring. Replace the piston assembly and attach the brine valve assembly to the drive end cap and restore service to the conditioning appliance.
