NOTE
The 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” [25.4 mm] whichever is larger.
CAUTION
Never insert drain line directly into a drain, sewer line,
or trap. Always allow an air-gap between the drain
line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of
sewage being back-siphoned into the softener.
