Installation Instructions

4CONNECT 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′.

CONNECTING A RIGID VALVE DRAIN TUBE

To adapt a copper drain tube to the softener, use a hacksaw to cut the barbed end from the drain fitting as shown. Rotate the drain fitting so the cutting blade clears the valve housing to prevent damage to valve. Buy a compression fitting (1/4″ female pipe thread x 1/2″ O.D. tube) and needed tubing from your local hardware store.

5INSTALL THE BRINE TANK OVERFLOW FITTINGS AND HOSE

•Insert the rubber grommet into the 3/4″ diameter hole in the brine tank sidewall as shown.

•Push the end of the hose adapter elbow into the grommet as shown.

•Attach a length of hose (use remaining hose from Step 4) to the hose adapter elbow. Use a hose clamp to hold it in place.

•Locate the other end of the hose at the drain point. DO NOT ELEVATE this hose higher than the elbow on the brine tank.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT TEE OVERFLOW HOSE TO VALVE DRAIN HOSE.

NOTE: This drain is for safety only. If the cabinet (brine tank) should over-fill with water, the excess is carried to the drain.
