13 Miracle Water Installation & Operation Manual
Visually check and remove any foreign materials from the valve inlet and outlet ports.
If not already done, put a light coating of silicone grease or Vaseline on the bypass valve o-rings.
Push the bypass valve into the softener valve as far as it will go. Snap the 2 large holding clips
into place, from the top down as shown in Figure 8.
CAUTION: Be sure the clips snap firmly into place so the bypass valve will not pull out.
Step 3. Assemble Inlet and Outlet Plumbing
Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the main water pipe to the inlet and out-
let ports of the valve.
Be sure
hard water supply pipe goes to the valve inlet side.
NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the valve. Trace the water flow direction to be sure.
CAUTION: Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the
softener valve inlet and outlet. Undo stress may cause damage to the valve.
Step 4. Connect Inlet and Outlet Plumbing
Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing as applicable, below.
1. SOLDERED COPPER
a. Thoroughly clean and flux all joints.
b. Make all solder connections. Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes square and
straight. DO NOT solder with installation adaptors or bypass valve attached to plumbing.
Soldering heat will damage the installation adaptors and valve.
2. THREADED PIPE
a. Apply pipe joint compound to all outside pipe threads.
b. Tighten all threaded joints.
3. PVC PLASTIC PIPE
a. Clean, prime and cement all joints, following the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the
plastic pipe and fittings.
