Connecting The Boiling Tank Drain Line - Pure Water A-12 Owner's Manual

B. CONNECTING THE BOILING TANK DRAIN LINE
CAUTION: The boiling tank drain line delivers water in excess of 160° F to drain when
actuated. Caution should be used when running this line to ensure safe placement of the
tubing. The end of the tube should be secured so as to prevent movement during the draining
cycle. If young children might to be around the system, it is desirable to run the drain line
through a large diameter piece of CPVC tubing which serves as a "shield".
Do not connect the drain line directly to a waste water drain, sewer or trap. Always allow an
air gap between the drain line and the wastewater to conform with local codes, and to prevent
the possibility of waste water being forced back into the water distillation system. See figure 3.
If you are draining into plastic pipe, it must be rated CPVC at a minimum to handle the high
temperatures of boiling water. PVC is unacceptable.
Note: This unit is self draining. It must be installed with a proper drain. The location of the
boiling tank drain outlet on the rear of the machine MUST be higher than the household
drain. Failure to install properly could result in the unit draining hot water onto the floor. If
your installation plans do not call for installing with a drain, contact your authorized Pure &
Secure, LLC Distributor immediately. Pure Water cannot be responsible for any damage
resulting from improper installation.
Locate the parts kit bag identified "Drain Waterline Hookup Kit".
a) Insert one end of the 1/2" high temperature tubing (rigid tubing) into the 1/2" x 1/2"
speedfit elbow. Press in firmly.
b) Insert the elbow into the fitting marked "BOILING TANK DRAIN" (red fitting) on the
rear of the unit (see figure 4). Press in firmly.
c) Run the drain line to the drain of your choice. Secure in place and allow an air gap
between the end of the line and the drain. See figure 3.
d) Slide the 5/8" hose clamp onto the end of the clear, flexible 3/8" tubing. Install the
tubing onto the elbow marked "DRAIN" on the lower rear of the unit (see figure 4).
Tighten the hose clamp securely.
e) Run the clear drain line to the same location as the larger drain line.
