Wh en 8z How- To Use The Bypass Valve
The bypass valve is intended to provide isolation of the WaterMax appliance in the event of a
system malfunction, leak, or if the use of untreated water for watering plants, shrubs, or lawns
is not available otherwise.
Facing your appliance from the front, the bypass is located on the main control valve (See ꢀ
below.) To engage the bypass, locate the cone-shaped knob on the right hand side, behind
the controller. Turn the knob counter-clockwise until it stops. Now the appliance is bypassed
and all water to the home is raw, untreated water.
To prevent untreated water from entering the home, do not use water while watering your
When watering is finished, return the appliance to service by turning the knob

clock-wise until it stops.
Blending Valve Adjustment
In some situations, a blending valve may be desired. The amount of hardness blended back
into the water line is determined by the hardness of the incoming water and the setting of the
blending valve. Where extremely hard water is present, the blending valve may only need to
be "cracked" open. Where the incoming water has relatively low levels of hardness, the
blending valve will need to be opened further. The blending valve is located between the
input and output connections on the top of the bypass valve. It is adjusted by placing a flat
blade screwdriver in the slot provided and turning clockwise to open. Total movement of the
blending valve from full closed to full open is 1/4 revolution. Precise setting of the blending
valve will require "trial and error" testing. The initial setting should be conservative. Because
of the blending valveꢀs ease of access and adjustment, the end user can increase or decrease
the setting according to their preference over a period of time.

Use this diagram as a location and installation guide for your 60 Series water conditioner.
To simplify installation and servicing, your WaterMax appliance includes a bypass valve
required by the uniform plumbing code. A bypass system also provides access to untreated
water when required (i.e. for lawn and gardening purposes.) See page 5.
Installation tip:
if the installation includes backfeeding the water heater for soft water service,
a minimum of 10 feet of pipe is recommended between the outlet of the appliance and the inlet
of the water heater. This reduces the potential for hot water backup into the WaterMax.
(Check the local plumbing code for compliance.)

is the plastic Hook-up Nut (90251), 0-ring (90837), and Copper Adapter (90254). Make sure the 0-ring is

pre-assembled with the Sensor housing and turbine axle. These are not field serviceable and if damaged, must
be replaced with a new assembly. The Bypass Piston bore is to be smooth and, at the recessed areas, have a
smooth transition (no sharp corners) to the seat areas.

93858 Turbine Sensor Assembly: Picks up the magnetic field from the Turbine and relays it to the Controller.
The three wire assembly connecting the "black wafer" Hall Effect Sensor to the Controller board must not be
severely bent (folded over,) cut, or broken. Care should be taken when putting the Sensor into the Sensor
Housing. The "spring" flap below the Sensor must be gently bent over (on top of) the Sensor, and then the
Sensor slides all the way into the Sensor Housing. The round hole of the Sensor mounting tab is then placed
down over the mounting screw boss. The cap is then put in place and the mounting screw is installed. A slot is
provided in the cap for the wire way to exit. The three-wire socket connector must be properly installed in the
controller. Stops on the connector prevent improper (upside down) assembly. Do not force the connector past
the stops.

Test Port. One seal is an 0-ring which seals off the threaded area when the Valve is opened. The other seal is
a compression seal between the Test Port Valve material and the Right End Cap material. If this seal is "over-
tightened", it can damage the sealing area on the End Cap causing a permanent leak.

Brine Valve Housing Assembly
Should have a Quad-ring for the Piston seal. The Quad-ring (4) is held in
93260 Housing:
place by the quad ring retainer (5). The brine valve housing has four retaining lugs that secure
the quad ring retainer. Just inside the entrance hole for the Brine Piston (1) is a concave seat
area that must be free of defects such as nicks, indentations or debris. If any defects are
detected by visual inspection, repair or replace as needed.
To replace the Quad-ring, it will be necessary to remove the brine valve housing assembly
from the drive end cap (after by-passing and depressurizing the conditioning appliance). Push
the piston assembly (1) out of the housing. To remove the quad ring retainer (5) push in and
turn "clockwise" to unlock the retainer. CAUTION! Do not attempt to remove the retainer with
the piston assembly in place. This will damage the housing and/or the retainer. Push the piston
back into the housing to dislodge the old quad-ring (4) and discard it. Remove the piston, insert
the new Quad-ring and lock the retainer onto the housing by pushing in and turning "counter-
clockwise" to secure the Quad-ring. Replace the piston assembly and attach the brine valve
assembly to the drive end cap and restore service to the conditioning appliance.
93243-JG Housing Cap: The Cap is held in place by two 5/8" machine screws that engage the
Housing flange. An 0-ring seals the Cap and Housing. Place the 0-ring into the housing open-
ing, lubricate with silicone grease and then using a twisting action, pressure insert the Cap.
CAUTION: The 3/8" locking ring (8) must be installed to prevent air from being drawn into the
appliance during brine rinse.
90843 .5 gpm Flow Control: The Flow Button has two distinct and different sides. One is
"flat"; the other is "concave". The button should be centered in the housing opening with the
four locator "ribs" with the concave side facing the Housing Cap.
The Piston should have an 0-ring on the shaft side of the flange and a
93620 Brine Piston:
spring pressed onto a boss on the other side. The 0-ring should be free of defects such as cuts
or debris on the shaft side. The Piston is Teflon coated brass and should be free of scratches.
The Piston should move freely in the housing; silicone lubrication is not recommended on the
Piston shaft.
