Step B - Install RO Drain in Remote Location

9

INSTALL A REMOTE DRAIN POINT AND

AIR GAP (Remote Location)

Route the drain tubing to an existing drain in the

house. A floor drain, laundry tub, standpipe, sump, etc.

are suitable drain points. See Fig. 11. This type of

drain is the preferred over the p-trap drain adapter.
Be sure to provide a 1-1/2” air gap between the end of

the hose and the drain point. This will prevent water

from backing up into the system.

NOTE: Check your local plumbing codes.

To install a remote drain point, complete the follow-

ing steps:
1

. Locate the 1/4” red tubing on the Reverse Osmosis 

filter assembly. See Fig. 10.

2

. Determine if this length is long enough to reach the

drain point. Longer lengths of tubing (see parts list in

back of manual) may be needed. 

3

. If longer tubing is required, disconnect the 1/4” red

tubing and replace with an adequate length of tubing

to reach the drain point. Refer to Step F later in the

manual on how to disconnect and connect tubing. 

NOTE: A flow control insert is located inside the

elbow fitting that the drain tube connects to. 

Refer to Fig 28. Leave this fitting in place. 

4

. Route the tubing to the drain point and secure at the

end with a bracket (not included). See Fig. 11. 

Provide a 1-1/2” air gap between the end of the tube

and the drain. See Fig. 11.
