GE 960 Series Battery Back-Up, Regenerant Line Connection, Overflow Line Connection, Right Way

4.Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a

7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line so that the bottom of the loop is level with the drain line connection. This will provide an adequate siphon trap.

5.Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used.

IMPORTANT: Never insert drain line into a drain, sewer line or trap. Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the conditioner.

Right Way

Note: Standard commercial practices have been expressed here. Local codes may require changes to these suggestions.

Regenerant Line Connection

It will be necessary to install the regenerant line to the regenerant fitting on the valve (3/8-inch NPT).

Be sure all fittings and connections are tight.

Overflow Line Connection

In the absence of a safety overflow and in the event of a malfunction, the REGENERANT TANK OVERFLOW will direct “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor where it could cause considerable damage. This fitting should be on the side of the cabinet or regenerant tank.

To connect overflow, locate hole on side of regenerant tank. Insert overflow fitting (not supplied) into tank and tighten with plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown (Figure 4). Attach length of 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) I.D. tubing (not supplied) to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow line higher than 3 inches (7.6 cm) below bottom of overflow fitting. Do not tie into drain line of control unit. Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer or tub. Allow an air gap as per drain line instructions (Figure 3).

The Performa ProSoft conditioner features a battery back-up feature that will allow the controller to continue to keep time and record water usage during a power outage. The control’s display will not light, but the controller will continue to measure water usage for up to five hours. When power is restored to the unit, it will continue to work as before. Connect a nine-volt alkaline battery to the connecting cable at the back of the conditioner’s control box, Figure 5.
