2010 Xmas shutdown project: water softener installation

Water Softening Systems soften the water used throughout your home by removing hard water minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and manganese from your water, which results in cleaner, healthier, more environmentally safe water for your family.

Softened water allows soap to form suds easily. It does not build up scale in boilers or hot water heaters and does not leave large mineral deposits on plumbing fixtures, glass shower/tub doors, swamp coolers and cooking utensils. It makes the cleanup of bathroom and kitchen much easier than before.

The most difficult part of the water softener installation is to connect the water supply line to the water softener and then return to the house. Be sure hard water supply pipe goes to the water softener valve inlet side. Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the water softener valve inlet and outlet. I used flexible water pipes to make the installation easier.



Install the valve drain hose (black) to the outside of the house or to a bathroom nearby. Avoid elevating the hose more than 8 feet above the floor.



The waste water in the black hose will be drained to a rain gutter nearby outside of the house in my case.



Add an electrical power socket near the water softener. In my case, replace the single power socket for sprinkler control adaptor



with dual power sockets.



Plug in the adaptors to the power sockets.



Set salt level and program current time after adding salt.

 

It is done now and I am sure that my tenants will enjoy it for many years to come.
