of.the.longer.length.drain.line.tubing.about.1-2.inches.and.
release.
6.. Push.the.tubing.over.the.ribbed.drain.line.fitting.
7.. Expand.the.clamp.and.move.it.up.the.tube.to.pinch.the.tube.

Figure.6...Drain.Line.Connection
NOTE:.Waste.connections.or.drain.outlet.shall.be.designed.and.
constructed.to.provide.for.connection.to.the.sanitary.
waste.system.through.an.air-gap.of.2.pipe.diameters.or.1.
inch.(22.mm).whichever.is.larger.
WARNING:
Never insert drain line directly into a drain,
sewer line, or trap (Figure 6 Drain Line
Connection). Always allow an air gap between
the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the
possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into
the softener.
Overflow Line Connection (Optional)
In.the.event.of.a.malfunction,.the.salt.TANK.OVERFLOW.will.
direct.“overflow”.to.the.drain.instead.of.spilling.on.the.floor..This.
fitting.should.be.on.the.side.of.the.cabinet.
To.connect.the.overflow.line,.locate.the.tubing.connector.on.the.
side.of.the.tank.(Figure.7.Tubing.Connections)..Attach.length.
of.1/2-inch.(1.3-cm).I.D..tubing.to.fitting.and.run.to.drain..Do.not.
elevate.overflow.line.higher.than.overflow.fitting..
Do.not.tie.into.drain.line.of.control.unit..Overflow.line.must.be.a.
direct,.separate.line.from.overflow.fitting.to.drain,.sewer.or.tub..
Allow.an.air.gap.as.per.drain.line.instructions.

Salt Line Connection
The.salt.line.from.the.brine.tube.connects.to.the.valve..Make.
certain.the.connections.are.hand.tightened..Be.sure.that.the.
salt.line.is.secure.and.free.from.air.leaks..Even.a.small.leak.may.
cause.the.salt.line.to.drain.out,.and.the.softener.will.not.draw.salt.
from.the.tank..This.may.also.introduce.air.into.the.valve.causing.
problems.with.valve.operation.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
continued
To install the brine line:
1.. Inside.the.salt.tank,.remove.the.cap.from.the.large.cylinder.to.
gain.access.to.the.connection.
2.. Be.sure.the.brass.insert.is.in.the.end.of.the.brine.tubing..
Insert.the.tubing.through.the.opening.in.the.tank.
3.. Push.the.tubing.into.the.plastic.nut..Slowly.unscrew.the.nut.
until.the.tubing.moves.into.the.connection..The.tubing.will.hit.
bottom.
Figure.8...
NOTE:.. Once.the.tubing.has.been.pushed.into.the.nut.it.cannot.
be.pulled.out..The.nut.will.need.to.be.removed..See.
Figure.9.for.correct.assembly.
4.. Hand.tighten.the.nut.until.the.connection.is.tight.
Figure.9...
5.. Slide.the.plastic.nut.onto.the.tubing.followed.by.the.ferrule.
(see.Figure.9).
6.. Insert.the.brass.fitting.inside.the.tube..Then.place.the.spacer.
in.position.
7.. Locate.the.salt.line.connection.on.the.valve.(Figure.5)..Push.
the.tubing.into.the.opening.until.it.stops.
8.. Slide.the.nut.forward.and.hand.tighten.
Electrical Connection
WARNING:
This valve and control are for dry location use
only unless used with a Listed Class 2 power
supply suitable for outdoor use.
The.controller.operates.on.12-volt.alternating.current.power.
supply..This.requires.use.of.the.supplied.AC.adapter.included.
with.your.system.
120 Vac Adapters:
Make.sure.power.source.matches.the.rating.printed.on.the.AC.
adapter..
NOTE:.. The.power.source.should.be.constant..Be.certain.the.AC.
adapter.is.not.on.a.switched.outlet..Power.interruptions.
longer.than.8.hours.may.cause.the.controller.to.lose.the.
