PLUMBING
CODES
All plumbing
must be completed
in accordance
with
national,
state and local
plumbing
codes.
In the state of Massachusetts:
The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts
plumbing
code 248-CMR
shall be
adhered
to.
A licensed
plumber
shall be used for
this installation.
AIR GAP REQUIREMENTS
A drain is needed for Clean Rinse discharge
water.
A
floor drain, close to the Central
Water
Filtration
System,
is preferred.
A laundry
tub, standpipe,
etc. are other
drain options.
Secure valve drain hose in place.
Leave
an air gap of 1-1/2"
between
the end of the hose and
the drain.
This gap is needed to prevent
backflow
of
sewer water
into the Central
Water
Whole
Home
Filtration
System.
Do not put the end of the drain hose
into the drain.
VALVE
DRAIN
REQUIREMENTS
Using the flexible
drain
hose (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.
Purchase a com-
pression fitting
(1/4 NPT x 1/2 in. minimum
tube) and
1/2" tubing
from your local hardware
store.
Plumb a
rigid drain
as needed (see Figure 3, below).
NOTE: Avoid drain hose runs longer than 30 feet.
Make
the valve drain line as short and direct as possible.
It is recommended
that the Central
Water
Whole
Home Filtration
System be installed
near a drain.
However, if a drain is not available,
it is still possible to
operate
the Central
Water
Whole
Home Filtration
System in a manual
Clean Rinse mode.
See "Operating
in Manual
Clean Rinse Mode"
section.
The automatic
Clean Rinse function
must be disabled
if the Central
Water
Filtration
System will not be connected
to a drain.
