ERIE BY-PASS with a mixer is a bypass valve for ERIE central water softeners. Installed on the water connections in the device head, it allows for a quick switch to unsoftened water flow (ByPass mode). Additionally, it enables mixing softened water with hard water to set the desired hardness in the system.
ERIE BY-PASS with mixer for water softener is a practical bypass valve for central water treatment stations that makes everyday system operation easier. The accessory allows you to quickly switch the water softener to bypass mode, as well as mix softened water with raw water to achieve the desired hardness in the installation. This functional solution is for users who want more convenient control over water treatment and lower the operating costs of the entire water filtration system.

ERIE BY-PASS with mixer has been designed as a bypass valve for central ERIE water softeners. It is mounted on the water connections in the unit head, making it an integral part of the installation and allowing quick management of water flow in the system.
This solution works well wherever the user wants to maintain full control over whether softened water or water that has not been softened should enter the installation. It is a useful addition to a home installation in which the water softener is responsible for user comfort, appliance protection, and better quality of utility water.
The most important function of the valve is the ability to quickly switch the installation to ByPass mode. When there is a need to supply unsoftened water to the water installation, simply set the valve knobs to the appropriate position. This allows you to temporarily bypass the softener without dismantling the unit or interfering with the entire installation.
An additional advantage is the function of mixing softened water with hard water. This makes it possible to set the desired water hardness in the installation, which can be particularly important when the user wants to adapt water parameters to their own preferences or the requirements of a specific application.
Bypass mode is especially useful when there is no need to direct softened water into the installation. A typical application is switching the softening filter to bypass during garden watering. In such a situation, using unsoftened water helps reduce the consumption of the resin bed’s working capacity and may additionally reduce operating costs.
This solution will be appreciated by users who want to manage more consciously the operation of devices responsible for water treatment. The valve can be a valuable addition to an installation in which, alongside the softener, there is also another water filter or an advanced water filtration system.
The valve is mounted on the water connections in the unit head. If it is necessary to supply unsoftened water to the installation, turn the valve knobs to the ByPass position. The mixing function, in turn, allows you to obtain a specific water hardness in the installation.
ERIE BY-PASS with mixer is intended for all central water softeners in the series:
Thanks to its broad compatibility, the valve is a practical accessory for users of this brand’s devices who want to expand the operating capabilities of their softener with bypass and water mixing functions.
The ability to mix softened water with hard water increases control over the final effect of the installation’s operation. The user can choose the level of hardness that best suits domestic, technical, or operational needs. This is a practical and convenient solution, especially in systems where flexibility of settings is important.
In modern installations, water treatment often includes several elements, and the water softener plays one of the key roles. The bypass valve with mixer helps better adapt the operation of the entire system to actual consumption and the user’s current needs.

It is a bypass valve for a central water softener that allows quick switching of the installation to the flow of unsoftened water and mixing softened water with hard water.
The valve is mounted on the water connections in the unit head, i.e. directly on the softener it is intended for.
ByPass mode allows unsoftened water to be supplied to the installation. To use it, set the valve knobs to the ByPass position.
The mixing function makes it possible to set the desired water hardness in the installation. This allows you to better adapt water parameters to your own needs.
Yes, because in selected situations you can use unsoftened water, for example when watering the garden. It is a practical way to operate the system more economically.
The valve is compatible with all devices in the SUPREME, ERIE, MAXIMA, ULTRA, and SLIMLINE series.
It is most often used in home installations with a central water softener, but wherever the ability to bypass the unit and adjust hardness matters, it will be a practical solution.
Yes, it can be part of an installation in which a water softener and other water treatment devices operate, such as an additional water filter or an advanced water filtration system.
