Bypass valve CLACK 1" for unit maintenance

The Clack 1" bypass valve is a functional component designed for quickly disconnecting a water filtration system without shutting off the entire water supply. It mounts directly onto the filter's control valve and allows for easy redirection of water flow, providing access to the system for servicing, backwashing, or repairs.

Purpose and benefits

The bypass valve is intended for maintaining multi-purpose filtration, softening, iron removal, and other water treatment systems based on Clack control valves.

Benefits:

✅ Quick switching between "filtration" and "bypass" modes — no need to shut off the entire water system;
✅ Easier service access — allows maintenance without cutting water to the whole house;
✅ Tool-free installation — connects directly to the Clack valve using standard fittings;
✅ Reliability and tight sealing — rated up to 8 bar pressure, leak-free;
✅ Broad compatibility — suitable for all Clack WS1, CE, TC, EE valves with 1" thread connections.

How it works

The bypass valve provides two key modes:

▪️Filtration mode — water flows through the filter media and enters the household purified;
▪️Bypass mode — water bypasses the filter and flows directly to the system, allowing service without interrupting supply.

The Clack 1" bypass valve is a simple yet essential component for any filtration system. It provides operational flexibility, convenience during maintenance, and safe operation. Once installed, there’s no need to shut off water to the whole house every time you service the filter — a dependable choice for long-term performance.
