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.
