Automate Softener Bypass for Sprinkler Operation

When installing a hard-line for rear sprinklers is impractical or cost-prohibitive, our solution saves you both time and money. Automatically bypass your softener whenever your sprinklers are in operation.

In residential water system installations, connecting rear sprinklers with a hardline can often be expensive or challenging.
 

Homeowners typically face the choice of manually bypassing the softener during sprinkler use, sacrificing the convenience of automatic sprinklers, or opting for potassium chloride, which can quickly accumulate costs at $40 per bag.
 

Equivalent to the cost of just two brine tank loads of potassium chloride the TimerBypass  priced at under $600, this solution resolves the issue. Additionally, it minimizes wear and tear on water systems by avoiding the treatment of irrigation water.

When Should You Consider Installing a TimerBypass?

As you set up your water softener or whole house filter system, it's crucial to include a bypass for your sprinkler system. Why? Because irrigation systems consume significant amounts of water, and failing to bypass softeners can result in wasted salt or potassium, while neglecting to bypass water filter systems can render them ineffective.

​

In certain homes, bypassing rear sprinklers might seem impractical due to labor or material costs exceeding those of a TimerBypass. In such cases, opting for a TimerBypass makes perfect sense."

Say Goodbye to Potassium Chloride


If you've been using potassium chloride instead of salt in your water softener while watering your lawn with the Timer Bypass, it's time to reconsider.

​

1. Salt comes at a fraction of the cost compared to potassium chloride. At just $8 per 40lb bag, it's a significant saving compared to the almost $40 per bag of potassium chloride. For most households, which typically go through one bag per month, this switch could mean savings of around $32 monthly.

​

2. Automatically bypassing your softener means your system will regenerate far less frequently. Considering that outdoor landscape watering often consumes thousands of gallons more water than indoor use, bypassing your softener during sprinkler operation significantly reduces regeneration frequency, leading to less salt usage overall.
