We recommend that you have your water treatment specialist install and maintain this appliance.
Each water treatment appliance comes with 8 feet (2.4 metres) of drain line.
Note:
Your appliance may come with an optional bypass that enables you to remove the appliance
from service when necessary. Should your appliance NOT have the bypass, a bypass valve like
Figure 2 may be available from your local hardware store or install three-way bypass plumbing simi-
lar to Figure 3.
