How To Install A Water Softener

By Essie Osborn


Water is one of the things that we really can not live without. We use this at almost everything. From hygiene to food and drinks, water is just everywhere. If you have observed, there are already different types of it. There is what we call as distilled, mineral, natural and a lot more. Another one that is not so popular yet is the process called softening. Water softener Rosemount is one of those who are permitted to install machines in the homes of those who are interested. You may actually do it by yourself as well.

For you to save money, you may also install the machine by yourself. You only need to make sure that you can really do it by just reading some instructions provided when you buy the tools needed. Also, be ready for some soldering jobs. Here are some instructions that can help you install your own softener processor at home.

Make a checklist before going to the supermarket to canvass for the stuff you need. There are tools that you might already have at home. Check each thing that is on your list and see if there are some things that you can get or recycle. Once you are already in the place to buy it, check the things that you already got so there will be no confusion as you go along.

Drain the lines by turning on the faucets minutes before you start the steps to officially install the softener. Then turn it off completely including the power heater. Place the softener that you bought with the package in a dry and safe level space. There will be 2 tanks to be used meaning, you need a bigger space for it. Place it beside each other.

Measure the length between the line of the cold liquid and the bypass ports on your tank. Cut a copper tubing following the length that you have just measured and solder the fittings at the ends. This task will involve a number of soldering work, so you better be ready for it.

When you purchase all the things needed, there should be a manual with the list of steps and procedures to successfully install your softener. Properly read and understand every bullet so you can do everything right. After, recheck all the things that you have bought. In case there is a missing piece, directly go back to the store and ask for it. If you do not do so, you will not be able to finish everything immediately.

Take out your tube for this next procedure. Put it beside your tank. There will be another tube needed to serve as the drainage. Build a draining system for this project.

Get your bypass valve and attach it on the upper part of the conditioner. Using a screwdriver, adjust its screws to the stainless clamps to the seat valve. Now get the copper tube that you cut earlier so that it can already be used to deliver the water to the bypassing valve. Simply attach it unto the lines.

Now turn it on and see if you were able to do an excellent job. If there is anything wrong, figure it out as soon as possible. Delaying it may cause the whole machine to malfunction.
