How do I bypass my well water filter?
I have no water pressure and the company I use can't service my well
until Monday. Does anyone know how I bypass my filter? The last time this happened they bypassed my filter until they could repair it. I have a Braswell system. Thank you! |

The last time this happened they bypassed my filter until they could repair it. I have a Braswell system. Thank you! Can't find anything of Baswell system. What type of filter? Brand? If it has a filter cartridge in a housing, there may be a top that can be turned to bypass mode. If no, there may be a lop of pipe or tubing with valves that are closed. Just open the valves. Rather than call a service company. learn how to clean the filter yourself and save a bundle of money on service calls. |

If it does not have a bypass mode, you can just remove the filter, and
put the housing back with no filter in it. |

How do I bypass my well water filter?
The filter/water softener is a Braswell. There is a big blue tank with
pvc pipe running to a skinny tan tank (which is the filter). On top of this tank is a knob that says Pull Up for Off and Push Down for On. I assume if I pull it up it will bypass the filter but I can't get it to pull up. I have tried turning it and I still can't pull it up. I'm not sure how to do it or if this will even bypass the filter. There are some other valves but when turned they don't bypass the filter. Thank you, Amy |

The last time this happened they bypassed my filter until they could repair it. I have a Braswell system. Is this a problem with the well or the water softener. If it's the softener, take a look at it. It should have a bypass on it. If you can't one, hopefully you have an instruction manual. If it's the well, like Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing." In the mean time, drink beer! Dick |

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I now have water pressure!!! When I bypassed the
filter I still didn't have much pressure so I put it back online and then backwashed about 5 times and it seems to have corrected the problem. You guys are the best! Thank you, Amy |
