I. DRAIN CONNECTION AND OVERFLOW
- 2.5mtrs of white low pressure drain hose is supplied with the
unit. This is to be used for both the drain and overflow. The drain
connection is the black barbed elbow on top of the valve (Pic C). Fix
drain hose to black barbed elbow with jubilee clip (supplied).
- Run the drain hose to either an upstand or an outside drain. A
minimum air gap of 20mm should exist at the end of the drain line
(Fig 2.)
- If you need to extend the drain hose, this can be done by
connecting to a 15mm copper tube for a maximum run of 4 metres,
with a minimum daytime pressure of 40 psi. Over 4 metres please
use 22mm copper tube.
- Ensure that the drain hose is adequately fixed to the copper pipe.
- The drain hose must not dip or be kinked in any way, as this will
lead to an overflow of the machine.
- UPHILL? The white flexible drain hose can run uphill internally, for a
maximum of 3 feet, with a minimum water pressure of 40 psi.
- Softened water will have no adverse effect on a septic tank.
- Under no circumstances should the softener drain and overflow

H. INLET & OUTLET CONNECTIONS
- Remove grey retaining clips and also BSP connection points. Connect
hoses to male BSP connection points, tighten to seal, then reinsert BSP
connection points back into valve body. Fit grey clips. The connection
points are designed to rotate once inserted in valve body. This removes
any stress/pressure placed upon the angle/direction of hoses when
connecting same to Rapid-Fit bypass.
- We recommend you fit the elbow end of the hose to the inlet/outlet
connection points on the softener.
- Using the stem elbow, insert into bulkhead on the salt tank as Pic A,
having greased stem slightly prior to inserting.
Cut to length allowing extra for when salt tank or softener needs to be
moved for service etc.
Chamfer the end of the tubing (maximum 1mm) and insert into the
push-fit connector on the short piece of white 3/8” tubing as Pic B.
IMPORTANT: Lubricate both stem on elbow and tubing end for
speedfit connection on valve prior to inserting. Insert approx 1.5cm for
correct seal.
Under no circumstances use washing machines hoses or plumb the
softener in solid copper pipe.
J. OVERFLOW CONNECTION - Important
- The hose for the overflow should be cut from the white low
pressure hose supplied with the unit.
- The overflow connection is the 1/2” hose spigot on the salt tank.
- The overflow must be run downhill to drain.
