Most water softener manufacturing companies provide installation guides to make the job easy. Every water softener has its installation process. However, here are some common steps for installing a salt-based water softener.
Step 1
Before starting the installation process, read the water softener manual properly that comes with your water softener system.
Step 2
Shut off the main switch of the water supply.
Step 3
Turn on all outside hoses and faucets to drain all the water present in the plumbing pipe.
Step 4
Select a leveled, dry, and safe area to position your water softener. If your water softener has two tanks(brine and resin tank), set them near each other.
Step 5
Then, you have to set three valves-
a) Prior valve to control entering water
b) After valve for exiting the water
c) And the last one is for maintenance purposes
Step 6
Make sure all the fittings are well connected. If you need to solder them, then do so.
Step 7
Connect the tanks with provided tubing line. If not, buy the connecting tubes from a nearby hardware store.
Step 8
After that, connect the draining line
Step 9
Finally, switch on the main switch of the water supply.
