SETUP PROCEDURES (continued)
OPTIONAL INSTALLATION FOR WASTE WATER LINE
(USING A DRAIN SADDLE)
STEP 5: Direct the waste line (yellow) to a drain or connect it permanently to a drain pipe via a Drain Saddle.
(Drain Saddle is not included with system.)
STEP 6: Open the cold water (tap water) feed, connected to the black line. Plug in the 24V transformer to the UHE
Module and connect to 120VAC power.
STEP 7: At this stage, the system will start producing water from the 1/4" blue and yellow lines.
NOTE: At least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified water should be discarded during the initial procedure before
you can collect purified water for use.
Upon startup, air may be trapped in the DI cartridges (housings may not appear full). This is a normal
condition and will not affect the operation of the RO/DI system.
CAUTION:
Inspect for leaks and do not leave the system alone until you are sure there are no leaks. Monitor
the system for 72 hrs.
CAUTION
An extremely long drain line may cause excessive back pressure on the system. For drain lines longer
than 10 feet, 3/8" tubing should be substituted. An extremely long drain line may also create a
siphon which will pull the water past the 4# check valve and cause water to drain from the tank after
shutdown. The following solution assumes that you have already installed the system above the tank.
Route the yellow 1/4” waste water line up above the system as high as possible. Run a 1/2" drain pipe
(or a garden hose) from the drain location up vertically to the elevated yellow 1/4" waste water line.
Insert the waste water line down into the 1/2" drain line a few inches to create a “siphon break”.
