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 conditioner.

BRINE TANK CONNECTION:
Install the 3/8" O.D. polyethylene tube from the Refill Elbow to the
Brine Valve in the brine tank.
9.
OVERFLOW LINE CONNECTION:
An overflow drain line is recommended where a brine overflow
could damage furnishings or the building structure.
Your softener is equipped with a brine tank safety
float which greatly reduces the chance of an accidental brine overflow. In the event of a malfunction,
however, an
overflow line connection
will direct the “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the
floor where it could cause considerable damage. This fitting is an elbow on the side of the brine tank.
Attach a length of 1/2" I.D. tubing to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow line higher
than 3" below bottom of overflow fitting. Do not “tie” this tube into the drain line of the control valve.
Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer, or tub. Allow an air
gap as per the drain line instructions.
