Installation is simple: turn off the water, cut the pipe, insert the pipe into the push-fit connectors (observing flow direction), and turn the water back on.

Can I use this with a water softener?

Troubleshooting

Reduced water flow after installation.

Check for any obstructions in the pipe or the inhibitor unit. Ensure the unit is installed in the correct flow direction. If the problem persists, check for kinks or bends in the pipe.
