Connecting the Boiling Tank Drain Line & Overflow Drain Line
Notes and Cautions:
CAUTION
: :
: :
: The boiling tank drain line delivers water in excess of 160
°
F to
drain when actuated. Caution should be used when running this line to ensure
safe placement of the tubing. The end of the tube should be secured to prevent
movement during the draining cycle. If young children might be around the
system, it is desirable to run the drain line through a large diameter piece of
CPVC tubing which serves as a shield/insulator.
Note : Do not connect the drain line
directly to a waste water drain, sewer or
trap. Always allow an air gap between the
drain line and the waste water to con-
form with local codes, and to prevent the
possibility of waste water being forced
back into the distiller. See figure 2.
Note : If you are draining into plastic
pipe, it must be rated CPVC at a minimum to handle the temperatures of boiling
water. PVC is unacceptable .
Note ::::: This unit, under normal operating settings, should be self draining. It is
recommended that the distiller be installed with a proper drain. The location of
the boiling tank drain outlet on the rear of the machine MUST be higher than
the household drain. We recommend that you install your distiller on the custom
designed stand available through Pure Water, Inc. (part #36996). Failure to install
the distiller properly could result in the unit draining hot water onto the floor. If
your installation plans do not call for installing with a drain, you can manually
override the auto drain function by setting the unit to the Manual Drain Mode
(see page 7). Pure Water, Inc. cannot be responsible for any damage resulting
from improper installation.
To hook-up the Boiling Tank Drain Water Line & Overflow Drain Line:
1. Locate the parts kit bag identified “Drain Water Line Hookup Kit”.
2. Insert one end of the 1/2” high-temperature tubing into the 1/2” x 1/2” speedfit
elbow. Press in firmly. Pull to test.
3. Insert the elbow into the red fitting on the back of the Mega-Classic marked
“Boiling Tank Drain”. Press in firmly. Pull to test.
4. Slide the 5/8” hose clamp onto the end of the clear, flexible 3/8” tubing. Install the
tubing onto the elbow marked “ Overflow Drain” on the lower rear of the unit.
Tighten the hose clamp securely with a screwdriver.
Caution: Always allow
an air gap between
the drain line and the
waste water drain.
