Water Right Impression Plus IMP-1044TW, Installation Instructions & Owner'S Manual

Ring . Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and “O” Ring . 

Avoid getting solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the “O” Rings, split rings, bypass valve or control 

valve . If the building’s electrical system is grounded to the plumbing, install a copper grounding strap from the inlet to the 

outlet pipe . Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable local codes .

7 .  

 INSTALLING  GROUND:

 To maintain an electrical ground in metal plumbing of 

a home’s cold water piping (such as a copper plumbing system), install a ground 

clamp or jumper wiring .

 NOTE:

 If replacing an existing softener, also replace the ground clamps/wire . If 

removing a softener, replace the piping with the same type of piping as the original 

to assure plumbing integrity and grounding . 

8 .   

DRAIN LINE:

 First, be sure that the drain can handle the backwash rate of the 

system . Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line 

flow control fitting . Leave at least 6” between the drain line flow control fitting and 

solder joints . Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the flow control . Install 

a 1/2” I .D . flexible plastic tube to the Drain Line Assembly or discard the tubing nut 

and use the 3/4” NPT fitting for rigid pipe (recommended) . 

If the backwash rate is greater than 7 gpm, use a 3/4” rigid drain line.

 Where the drain line is elevated but 

empties into a drain below the level of the control valve, form a 7” loop at the discharge end of the line so that the bottom 

of the loop is level with the drain connection on the control valve . This will provide an adequate anti-siphon trap . Piping the 

drain line overhead <10 ft . is normally not a problem . Be sure adequate pressure is available (40-60 psi is recommended) . 

Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line, a sink-type trap must be used . Run drain tube to its discharge point in 

accordance with plumbing codes . Pay special attention to codes for air gaps and anti-siphon devices .

   NOTE:

 Drain line nut will not be supplied for units having a backwash rate greater than 7 gpm .

CAUTION:

  Never insert a drain line into a drain, sewer line, or trap. Always allow an 

air gap of 1-1/2” or twice the pipe diameter, whichever is greater, between 

the drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being 

back-siphoned into the softener.
