Description

This bypass valve assembly diverts water around the softener for maintenance or repair, restoring dependable isolation and flow control. Replace a cracked, leaking, or seized bypass to stop drips and make servicing the system simple.

• Provides a manual bypass to route water through or around the softener
• Isolates the softener without shutting off water to the home
• Common failure symptoms: leaks at the valve, stiff or broken handle, or inability to switch between Service and Bypass
• A stuck or leaking bypass can cause low flow or inconsistent softening performance

What's included: 1 bypass valve assembly Install notes:

• Turn off water supply, relieve system pressure, and unplug the softener
• Place the unit in Bypass; set towels/bucket to catch residual water
• Note flow-direction arrows/orientation; release plumbing clips/unions only after pressure is relieved
• Reconnect, restore water slowly, return to Service, and check for leaks
