Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
Step 2
Turn Off Water Supply
A.
Turn off the water supply.
B.
Open the hot and cold water taps to depressurize the lines.
Step 3
Connect Water Lines
A.
Connect water lines in compliance with all state and local, building, plumbing, and electrical
codes.
Step 4
Connect the Brine Tank
A.
Connect the brine tank to the valve head with the flexible 3/8-inch poly tube included with
the appliance. Insert the plastic insert in the end of the brine tube. See Figure 23.
Step 5
Connect Gravity Overflow Connection
The overflow line drains away excess water should the tank fill with too much water or the
appliance malfunction.
A.
Check that each overflow elbow is in the down position.
B.
Connect 1/2-inch I.D. tubing (size cannot be reduced) between the overflow fitting and a
floor drain, laundry tub, or other suitable waste receptor. This tubing is not supplied with the
appliance. Ensure that the overflow line ends at a drain that is at least 3 inches (8 cm) lower
than the bottom of the overflow fitting. Maintain a minimum of 2-inch (5 cm) between the
overflow line and the flood level rim of the waste receptor to prevent back-siphoning. The
gravity line cannot be run overhead.
Step 6
Connect Drain Line
The drain line carries away the backwash water as part of the regeneration cycle.
A.
Connect the drain line to the drain end cap with a minimum of 1/2-inch I.D. tubing
(not supplied). The size cannot be reduced.
Note:
If the drain line is 25 feet (7.6 meters) or longer, increase the drain line to 3/4-inch I.D.
The end of the drain line must be equal to or lower in height than the control valve.
Caution:
The drain line must not be kinked, crimped, or restricted in any way.
B.
Route the drain line to a floor drain, laundry tub, or other suitable waste receptor. Maintain
the same 2-inch (5 cm) air gap as with the overflow line. This drain line should make the
shortest run to the suitable drain.
C.
The drain line may be elevated up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) from the discharge on the appliance
as long as the water pressure in your system is 40 psi (2.8 bar) or more.
Step 7
Flush Lines
A.
Place the bypass valve in the Bypass position.
B.
Turn on the main water supply.
C.
Open the nearest cold water faucet to flush the plumbing of any excess soldering flux, air, or
any other foreign material.
