- Frequently Asked Questions
DRAIN LINE
Can I run my drain line to a sewer/septic?
Yes. These systems can be ran to your sewer or septic line and is typically the recommended
place to run the drain. Most concerns are related to the amount of water going down the
drain, and a properly designed septic/sewer system will not have a problem handling it.
Can my drain line be ran vertically?
Yes. Water from the drain comes out under pressure and can be ran vertically if needed.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
Why does my display flashing between the time of day and a number?
This is normal, with the number displayed indicating the number of days until the next
backwash.
What does the faucet icon mean?
That is the service icon, meaning the system is in service. It does NOT mean the system needs
service. If it is flashing then a backwash is queued for the next set time.
What does the water drop icon mean?
That is the flow icon. Only used on metered softeners, it indicates water is flowing through the
system.
What does the circled exclamation icon mean?
That indicates an error. Match the number on your display with the number on the error chart
below for troubleshooting tips.
