Grounding the Plumbing
It is important that the plumbing system be electrically
grounded . When a water softener is installed a non-metalic
bypass valve may interrupt the grounding. To maintain
continuity, a grounding strap can be purchased at a hardware
store . When it is installed the strap will connect the plumbing
into the softener to the plumbing out of the softener .
If you have other water treating equipment such as; chlorinator,
sediment filter, neutralizer, iron filter, or taste & odor filter they
should be installed upstream of the water softener .
You may wish to consult a water professional if additional water
treating equipment is to be installed .
