When the video starts, the 2 valves are closed. At 0:27, you open the valves. At 0:33, when the camera returns to the valves, they are back closed before removing the 2 connections. Should they be opened or closed before removing the 2 connections?
@@grattonland The system should be in service and the bypass valves open. Then you can remove the two red clips and pull out the two elbows (the brine & drain line), as seen at 00:33. The hoses connected to the brine and drain lines can stay attached to those elbows as you remove them. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
@@WaterTechFiltration yes, clear now. Being bypass valves, they are always opened, that’s what confused me at first. They are never closed, just in one position or another.
I'm still uncertain I understand this conversation. Let's recap. Should the red valves be pointing to each other or be parallel to each other when performing this step? Service = "Being serviced," and regeneration = "In operation"? Just trying to avoid some unintended consequences.

Great question - and good catch. Yes, they should be open like at 0:27. Best of luck and thanks for asking!
@@WaterTechFiltration Shouldn't they be closed before removing the hoses?
