Drain Line Connection
Refer to Table 3, for drain line length and height limitations.
• Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control.
• Route a length of 1/2” drain line from the drain elbow to the drain.
• Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.
• Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration. When discharging into a
sink, or open floor drain, a loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will
reduce splashing at the beginning of each regeneration.

Fill the Storage Container
Fill the salt storage container with water until the level reaches about 1 inch above the salt
support plate. Pour salt into the container. Fill with salt to within a few inches of the top.
Note: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to provide
for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1
inch, whichever is larger.
Note: Observe all plumbing codes. Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap
at the discharge point. The system and installation must comply with state and local laws
and regulations. For installations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts Plumbing
Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for
installation of this system. This system and its installation must comply with
state and local regulations.
