Installation Instructions
5CONNECT AND RUN THE VALVE DRAIN HOSE (CONT.)
•Elevating the drain hose may cause back pressure that could reduce the brine draw during recharge. If raising the drain line overhead is required to get to the drain point, measure the inlet water pressure to the softener first. For inlet
pressures between 20 and 50 psi, do not raise higher than 8′ above the floor. For inlet pressure
above 50 psi, the drain line may be raised to a maximum height of 14′.
