SECURE THE ADAPTOR ELBOW
Ensure o-rings are lubricated and in place before snapping the two large hold clips
into place, from the top down (see top illustration opposite). Be sure they snap firmly
into place so that the adaptors will not pull out. Pull on the adaptors to assure a tight
fit has been achieved.
INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS: (For unvented or direct systems refer to page 5).
Use the connecting hoses provided with the elbow unions to make the inlet and outlet
connections. For ease of connection the straight ends may be connected
to isolating valves or elbow unions. Fit the filter discs into the straight union
end of the inlet/outlet hoses.
DRAIN OUTLET/OVERFLOW CONNECTION: Insert the rubber grommet into the overflow
socket situated 2/3 of the way up the rear of the water softener cabinet. Only insert the
overflow adaptor using the silicone grease provided once the grommet is secure.
Cut two lengths of hose as required to make the drain and overflow connections.
Fit one length of hose onto the overflow adaptor and one length onto the drain line adaptor.
Turn the drain line adaptor so that a straight connection can be made. The drain hose
and overflow hose must be secured with the supplied metal clamps
(see bottom illustration opposite). Pass the overflow hose through a hole in an outside
wall so that its end can be seen. The drain hose may be connected directly into an
open drain or via the waste outlet similar to a washing machine. The drain and overflow
must be kept straight and not kinked.
