Please Remember
– Only use Tablet or Pellet Salt in Your Softener!
SECURE THE ADAPTOR ELBOW
Snap the two large hold clips into place, from the top down
(see top illustration
opposite)
. Be sure they snap firmly into place so that the adaptors will not pull
out. Pull on the adaptors to assure a tight fit has been achieved.
INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS
(For unvented or direct systems refer to page 5). Use the connecting hoses
provided with the elbow unions to make the inlet and outlet
connections. For ease of connection the straight ends may be connected
to isolating valves or elbow unions. Fit the filter discs into the straight union
end of the inlet/outlet hoses.
DRAIN OUTLET/OVERFLOW CONNECTION
Insert the rubber grommet into the overflow socket situated

of the way up
the rear of the water softener cabinet. Only insert the overflow adaptor
using the silicone grease provided once the grommet is secure.
Cut two lengths of hose as required to make the drain and overflow
connections. Fit one length of hose onto the overflow adaptor and one
length onto the drain line adaptor. Turn the drain line adaptor so that
a straight connection can be made. The drain hose and overflow hose must
be secured with the supplied metal clamps
(see bottom illustration opposite)
.
Pass the overflow hose through a hole in an outside wall so that its end can
be seen. The drain hose may be connected directly into an open drain or
via the waste outlet similar to a washing machine. The drain and overflow
must be kept straight and not kinked.
On some tight fitting installations it may be
a benefit to make all connections up before
inserting the elbow into the valve ports.
