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.

uously “live”is need within 10’of the filter.
