Bypass Valve Installation in Seminole, FL

Bypass Valve Installation in Seminole, FL

Bypass valve installation in Seminole, FL gives you a way to take the softener off line without shutting off water to the whole house. Seminole, FL Water Softener Installation installs bypasses on new systems and retrofits them on older ones that were plumbed straight through.

You need a working bypass when the softener leaks, when you refill the brine tank after a cleaning, or when you want hard water to the hose for a while. Without one, any softener problem means turning off the main.

There are two common setups:

• A single-handle plastic bypass that bolts to the back of the control valve
• A three-valve copper or PEX bypass loop with an inlet, outlet and crossover valve

The single-handle style is quick to use. The three-valve loop costs a little more but lets us remove the softener completely while the house still has water. We usually recommend it on older homes and any job where the softener sits in a tight closet.

We also replace bypasses that have seized. Old ones get stiff with scale, and forcing the handle can crack the valve body. A new O-ring kit fixes some. Others need the whole bypass replaced.
