Planning the installation
Locate the softener tank and brine
tank close to a drain where the
system will be installed. The surface
should be clean and level.
Perform all plumbing according to
local plumbing codes.
Use a ½” minimum pipe or tubing
size for the drain line.
Flexible drain line should be limited
to 2 metres.
Any solder joints near the valve must
be done before connecting any
piping to the valve. Always leave at
least 6” (152 mm) between the valve
and joints when soldering pipes that
are connected to the valve. Failure to
do this could cause damage to the
valve.
