Installation Instructions (Continued)
5. Connect the drain hose (10 ft included) to the valve and secure it with a hose clamp (also
included). Run the drain hose to the nearest laundry tub or drain pipe. This can be ran
up overhead or down along the floor. If running the drain line more than 20 ft overhead,
it is recommended to increase the hose size to 3/4”. NEVER MAKE A DIRECT CONNEC-
TION INTO A WASTE DRAIN. A PHYSICAL AIR GAP OF AT LEAST 1.5” SHOULD BE USED
TO AVOID BACTERIA AND WASTEWATER TRAVELLING BACK THROUGH THE DRAIN
LINE INTO THE SOFTENER.
6. Using the Allen Key (included), place the unit in the bypass position. Slowly turn on the
main water supply. At the nearest cold treated water tap nearby remove the faucet
screen, open the faucet and let water run a few minutes or until the system is free of any
air or foreign material resulting from the plumbing work.
7. Make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing system before proceeding. Close the water
tap when water runs clean.
8. Open the cabinet salt lid and add water until there is approximately 3" (75 mm) of water
(5 gallons) in the cabinet tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
9. Proceed to start up instructions.
Note: The unit is not ready for service until you complete the start-up instruc-
tions.
