fittings and solder joints. Failure to do this could cause interior
damage to the Water Softener/Filter flow control. Install a ½ inch
inside diameter flexible plastic tube to the Water Softener/Filter
drain line assembly or discard the tubing nut and the 3/4 inch NPT
fitting for rigid pipe. If the Water Softener/Filter backwash flowrate
is greater than 7 gallons per minute, use a ¾ inch Water
Softener/Filter drain line. Where the Water Softener/Filter drain
line is elevated but empties into a water drain below the level of
the Water Softener/Filter control valve, form a 7 inch loop at the
discharge end of pipe so that the bottom of the loop is level with
the drain connection of the Water Softener/Filter control valve.
This will provide an adequate anti-siphon trap. Where the drain
empties into an overhead sewer pipe, a sink-type trap must be
used. Run a drain tube to its discharge point in accordance with
local plumbing codes. Pay special attention to plumbing codes for
air gaps and anti-siphon devices.

Install a 3/8 inch outside diameter polyethylene tubing from the
Water Softener/Filter refill elbow to the brine valve in the Water
Softener/Filter brine tank.
9. WATER SOFTENER/FILTER OVERLOW DRAIN TUBING
CONNECTION
A Water Softener/Filter overflow drain tubing is recommended
where a Water Softener/Filter brine tank overflow could
damage furnishings or the building structure. Your Chlorosoft
Water Softener/Filter will be equipped with a brine tank safety
float which greatly reduces the chance of an accidental brine
overflow. In the event of a Water Softener/Filter malfunction,
an overflow tubing connection will direct the overflow to the
drain instead of spilling on the floor where it could cause
considerable damage. This fitting should be on the side of the
Water Softener/Filter cabinet of brine tank. To connect the
Water Softener/Filter overflow fitting, locate a hole inside of the
brine tank. Insert the Water Softener/Filter overflow fitting into
the brine tank and tighten with plastic nut and gasket from the
inside. Attach a length of ½ inch inside diameter tubing (not
