Air Gap Requirements

A drain is needed for regeneration discharge water. A floor drain, close to the water softener, is

preferred. A laundry tub, standpipe, etc., are other drain options. Secure valve drain hose in place.

Valve Drain Requirements

Use the flexible drain hose, that is included, measure and cut to the length needed. Flexible drain hose

is not allowed in all localities (check your plumbing codes). If local codes do not allow use of a flexible

drain hose, a rigid valve drain run must be used. Buy a compression fitting (1/4 NPT x 1/2 in. minimum

tube) and 1/2” tubing from your local hardwar e store. Then plumb a rigid drain as needed (see Figure

3).

NOTE: Avoid long drain hose runs, or elevating the hose more than 8’ above the floor. Make

the water softener valve drain as short and direct as possible.
