WaterBoss Softener Two-Button Owner’s Manual 8/1/2018 8
Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
G. For most installations, install the appliance after the pressure tank and any water filter appliance or
water meter and before the water heater unless otherwise recommended. Contact the HelpLine for
further assistance in determining the proper installation sequence.
Water Heaters: If less than 10 feet (3 m) of pipe connects the water treatment appliance(s) to the
water heater, install a check valve between the water treatment appliance and the water heater as
close to the water heater as possible. Ensure that the water heater has an adequately rated
temperature and pressure safety relief valve.
H. For outside installations, the appliance should be enclosed so it is protected from the weather.
Step 2
Turn Off Water Supply
A. Turn off the water supply.
B. Open the hot and cold water taps to depressurize the lines.
Step 3
Connect Water Lines
A. Lift and remove the cabinet cover.
B. Remove any packaging or installation materials from the
brine cabinet.
C. Install connection fittings*. *Connection fittings are
NOT provided with your appliance. Connection fittings
provide a convenient, easy-to-use three-piece assembly
for 3/4-inch copper plumbing or 3/4-inch CTS CPVC
plastic tubing. Ensure that the three components
(1: collar, 2: metal retaining ring, and 3: nylon sleeve) are
correctly installed in sequence on the pipe.
Note: PTFE tape or plumber’s putty is NOT necessary
and should NOT be used with connection fittings.
D. Attach the water lines to the appliance in compliance
with all state and local, building, plumbing, and electrical
codes. (See Figure 2)
Caution: Do NOT overtighten the connections on the
plastic threads.
E. Check the arrows on the valve to ensure that the water
flows in the proper direction.
Caution: Do NOT plumb your appliance in backward.
Step 4
Connect Gravity Overflow Connection
The overflow line drains away excess water should the tank fill
with too much water or the appliance malfunction.
A. Attach the overflow elbow and check that it is in the
down position. (See Figure 3)
B. Connect 1/2-inch I.D. tubing (size cannot be reduced)
between the overflow fitting and a suitable floor drain,
laundry tub, or other suitable waste receptor. This tubing
is not supplied with the appliance. Ensure that the
overflow line ends at a drain that is at least
3-inches (8-cm) lower than the bottom of the overflow
fitting. Maintain a minimum of 2-inch (5-cm) air gap.
The gravity line cannot be run overhead.
