Bypass Valve Installation in O Fallon, MO

Bypass Valve Installation in O Fallon, MO

Bypass valve installation in O Fallon, MO gives you a way to take the softener off line without shutting off water to the whole house. O Fallon, MO 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.
