OTHER REQUIREMENTS
4.
A drain is needed for regeneration discharge wa-
ter. A floor drain, close to the filter is preferred. A
laundry tub, standpipe, etc., are other options.
CAUTION:
DRAIN WATER EXITS THE HOSE AT A
FAST FLOW RATE, AND AT WATER SYSTEM
PRESSURE. BE SURE THE HOSE IS FASTENED
IN SOME MANNER TO PREVENT “WHIPPING”,
AND SPLASHING TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE
TO SURROUNDING AREA.
5.
A 120v--60Hz, grounded electrical outlet (contin-
uously “live”) is needed within 10’ of the filter.
