Electrical Outlet

• A 120V-60Hz, grounded electrical outlet (continuously "live") is needed within 10' of the unit.

Drainage

A drain is needed for regeneration discharge water. A floor drain, close to the unit, is preferred. A laundry tub, standpipe, etc., are other drain options.

• Connect a length of 3/8" or 7/16" I.D. hose (check codes) to the valve drain elbow, on the controller. Use a hose clamp to hold the hose in place. Route the hose out through the notch in the faceplate cover.
• Run the hose to the floor drain, and as typically shown below, tie or wire the end to a brick or other heavy object. This will prevent "whipping" during regenerations. Be sure to provide a 1 1/2" minimum air gap, to prevent possible sewer water backup.

  NOTE: Avoid long drain hose runs, or elevating the hose more than 8' above the flor.

                

Valve Drain Options

Flexible drain hose is not allowed in all localities (check your plumbing codes). For a rigid valve drain run, cut the barbed section off the drain fitting for access to the 1/4" pipe threads. Then plumb a rigid drain as needed.
