Drain Lines
•
Filter Tank Drain Line -
Locate the hose clamp in the small parts pack and a length of 1/2” drain line tubing (not supplied).
Slide the hose clamp over the end of the drain line tubing. Push the end of the drain line tubing over the drain line fitting, move
the hose clamp to within 1/4” of the end of the drain line at the drain fitting and tighten the hose clamp with a screwdriver.
•
Aeration Head Bleed Off Drain Line -
Connect 3/8” tubing (not supplied) to the bleed off drain line connection on the aeration
head (see figure 7).
•
Solenoid Valve Vent Drain Line -
Connect 1/4” tubing (not supplied) to the solenoid vent connection on the aeration head
(see figure 7). It is recommended that the 3/8” aeration head bleed off drain line and solenoid valve vent drain line not
be connected together. Water flowing to drain from the solenoid vent line is a means of troubleshooting - the solenoid will
normally expect very little moisture unless an internal seal fails from within the valve body.
•
Run the drain lines to a suitable waste outlet, such as a laundry tub, floor drain, or stand pipe and in accordance with local
plumbing codes. To prevent back-siphoning of drain contents, an air gap is desirable and is required by law in most states.
PROTECT THE DRAIN LINE FROM FREEZING TEMPERATURE!
•
DO NOT connect the drain lines together.
•
Cut the drain lines to the required length.
•
Secure the end of the drain line to an immovable object to prevent its being forced out of place during the drain cycle.
