softener (refer to specifications and flow rate on page 12). DISCHARGE END OF THE

DRAIN LINE MUST BE FIRMLY SECURED! There must be an air gap at the end of the

drain line to prevent siphoning of waste water and meet plumbing code. Total length of drain

line should be 15' or less. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.
