Route the drain tubing to an existing drain in the house.
A floor drain, laundry tub, standpipe, sump, etc. are suitable drain points. This type of drain is the preferred over the
P-trap drain adapter.
Always be sure to provide a 1-1/2 in. air gap between the end of the hose and the drain point. This will prevent
water from backing up into the system.
□
Locate the 1/4 in. red tubing on the reverse osmosis filter assembly.
□
Determine if this length is long enough to reach the drain point. Longer lengths of tubing (see parts list in
back of manual) may be needed.
□
If longer tubing is required, disconnect the 1/4 in. red tubing and replace with an adequate length of tubing
to reach the drain point. Refer to Step 8 - Connecting the tubes, on page 13.
□
A flow control insert is located inside the elbow fitting that the drain tube connects to. Leave this fitting in
place.
□
Route the tubing to the drain point and secure at the end with a bracket (not included). Provide a 1-1/2 in.
air gap between the end of the tube and the drain.
