Softener appears to be in bypass (water is hard) even though bypass handles are in service position

Safety first: Turn off water and relieve pressure before removing the bypass.

• Verify handle position: Confirm the bypass handles are fully in the service position according to Lindsay markings.
• Check for internal leak: Temporarily place the unit in full bypass and test hardness. Then return to service and test again. If hardness does not change, the bypass may be leaking internally.
• Inspect bypass: Remove the bypass assembly and inspect O-rings and seals. Replace with a Lindsay bypass seal kit if worn.
• Replace bypass body: If cracked or warped, install a new Lindsay bypass valve assembly.
