Step B - Install RO Drain In Remote Location

INSTALL A REMOTE DRAIN POINT

AND AIR GAP (Remote Location)

Route the drain tubing to an existing drain in the house.

A floor drain, laundry tub, standpipe, sump, etc. are

suitable drain points. See Fig. 12. This type of drain is

the preferred over the p-trap drain adapter.

Always be sure to provide a 1-1/2” air gap between the

end of the hose and the drain point. This will prevent

water from backing up into the system.

NOTE: Check your local plumbing codes.

To install a remote drain point, complete the

following steps:

1. Locate the 1/4” red tubing on the Reverse Osmosis

filter assembly. See Fig. 11.

2. Determine if this length is long enough to reach the

drain point. Longer lengths of tubing (see parts list in

back of manual) may be needed.

3. If longer tubing is required, disconnect the 1/4” red

tubing and replace with an adequate length of tubing

to reach the drain point. Refer to Step F later in the

manual on how to disconnect and connect tubing.

NOTE: A flow control insert is located inside the

elbow fitting that the drain tube connects to.

Refer to Fig. 29. Leave this fitting in place.

4. Route the tubing to the drain point and secure at the

end with a bracket (not included). See Fig. 12.

Provide a 1-1/2” air gap between the end of the tube

and the drain. See Fig. 12.
