per tube is also best to use for an overhead drain. Use a copper drain tube if the softener is installed outside, or in the sunlight. Heat from the sun can soften, flatten and close up some kinds of tubes.

To adapt a copper drain tube to the softener, buy a compression fitting (1/4" female pipe threads x 1/2" O.D. tube) and tubing from your local hardware store.

CONNECT SALT TANK OVERFLOW TUBING

1.Locate the rubber grommet, tube adaptor and tube clamp (see Fig. 16) that are in the parts bag.

2.Push the grommet into the hole in the salt tank wall so half is inside and half is outside.

3.Push the bigger end of the tube adaptor into the grommet.

4.Push one end of a length of 3/8" I.D. tubing onto the tube adaptor, using the tube clamp to hold it in place.

5.Put the other end of the tubing over the floor drain.

IMPORTANT." Overflow water must run downward through the tubing. Do not raise the tubing higher than the grommet and tube adaptor. See Fig. 16. IMPORTANT." Do not connect to the valve drain hose you installed in step 1. Both drains must have a separate hose or tube.

NOTE: Overflow drain tubing is available from Sears. See parts list in back of manual.
