Installation, Operation,and
Maintenance Manual
8. Connect the drain on the softener to an approved air gap
drain. When using 5/8” poly tubing for the drain line,
connect the nut to the line as illustrated in
figure 1.
If copper
line is used, be sure to pre-sweat and cool pipe and fittings
before attaching to drain fitting on unit.
Brine System Placement
9. Find a smooth, level location clean and free of debris for
the brine system. Locate and place the brine system
within 15 feet of the softener (15 feet maximum brine
line distance). Connect the brine line to the brine tank and
the softener with the supplied 3/8” O.D. poly tubing (
see
figure 2
).
10. Connect overflow fitting with 5/8” poly tubing and run to
a floor drain or through the floor to the crawl space.
Note:
This is a gravity drain and must run at a downward
slope from the fitting. It would only be used in the event
of a malfunction in the system.
Turning on Water:
1. With all plumbing connections made, make sure the
bypass is in the “bypass” position (
see figure 3
). Slowly
turn on the water supply valve until lines are pressurized.
At a nearby faucet, turn on cold water and let it run for 2 -
3 minutes to flush debris (solder, pipe tape, glue, etc.) from
the plumbing. Check for water leaks. If any leaks are
found, repair them immediately before proceeding.
2. After confirming no leaks exist, proceed to start up
instructions on page 12.
Make sure all plumbing connections
are completed before turning on water.
Check for and repair any leaks before
proceeding with start up of system.
