NOTE:
The salt storage tank drain elbow accepts either 1/2” or 3/8” I. D. hose.
VALVE DRAIN OPTIONS: Flexible drain hose is not allowed in all localities (check your plumbing codes). For a
rigid valve drain run, cut the barbed section off the drain fitting for access to the 1/4” pipe threads. Then plumb
a rigid drain as needed (see Figure 4).
