Step-by-step guide to plumbing the softener (cont)
SECURE THE ADAPTOR ELBOW
Snap the two large adaptor 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 ensure a tight
fit has been achieved.
INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS
(For unvented or direct systems refer to page 5). Fit the hose
gaskets into the ends of the inlet/outlet hoses. Use the connecting
hoses with the unions to make the inlet and outlet connections.
DRAIN OUTLET/OVERFLOW CONNECTION
Insert the rubber grommet into the overflow socket situated
2/3 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.
