DO NOT plug into electrical outlet at this time
(see STEP 10 on page 6). DO NOT put salt into brine tank at this time (see STEP 18 on
page 6).

discharge fitting to floor drain or sump pit capable of handling the backwash rate of the
softener (refer to specifications and flow rate on page 10).
DISCHARGE END OF THE

There must be an air gap at the end of the
drain line to prevent siphoning of waste water and meet plumbing code. Total length of drain
line should be 15’ or less. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.
