drain,* and brine tank drain. The brine tank drain el-
bow accepts either 1/2”or 3/8”I. D. hose.
*VALVE DRAIN OPTIONS: Flexible drain hose is not
allowed in all localities (check your codes). To make
a rigid valve drain run, cut the barbed section off the
drain fitting for access to the 1/2”pipe threads. Then
plumb a rigid drain as needed. An optional drain fit-
ting, part no. 7141239, is available from EcoWater to
connect a standard garden hose, or 5/8”I.D. hose
