Drain Line Connection

Refer to Table 3 for drain line length and height limitations.
• Remove 1/2" pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control.
• Route a length of 1/2" drain line from the drain elbow to the drain.
• Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.
• Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration. When discharging into a
sink, or open floor drain, a loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will
reduce splashing at the beginning of each regeneration.
Note: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to provide for
connection to the sanitary waste system through an air gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch,
whichever is larger.
Note: Observe all plumbing codes. Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap
at the discharge point. The system and installation must comply with state and local laws and
regulations.
For installations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall
be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system. This
system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations. The use of
saddle valves is not permitted.

Connect the Brine Line
• Measure a length of brine line sufficient to
reach from the brine tank to the brine fitting,
with no sharp bends. For easier access to the
float it is recommended to add an extra four
feet (1.3 meters) of length to the brine line.
Cut both ends of the brine line squarely and
cleanly.
• Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing
and press the plastic insert into the end of the
tubing (Figure 9). Connect to the brine valve
and tighten nut.
• Remove white nut and plastic insert from the small parts pack.
• Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing and press the plastic insert into the end of the
tubing (Figure 9). Connect to the brine connection on the valve and tighten nut.
