Caution: Always
allow an air gap
between the drain
line and the waste
water drain.
Connecting the Boiling Tank Drain Line & Overfl ow Drain Line
Notes and Cautions:
CAUTION: The boiling tank drain line delivers water in excess of 160° F to drain
when actuated. Caution should be used when running this line to ensure safe
placement of the tubing. The end of the tube should be secured to prevent move-
ment during the draining cycle. If young children might be around the system, it is
desirable to run the drain line through a large diameter piece of CPVC tubing which
serves as a shield/insulator.
Note: Do not connect the drain line direct-
ly to a waste water drain, sewer or trap.
Always allow an air gap between the drain
line and the waste water to conform with
local codes, and to prevent the possibility
of waste water being forced back into the
distiller. See figure 2.
Note: If you are draining into plastic pipe,
it must be rated CPVC at a minimum to handle the temperatures of boiling water.
PVC is unacceptable.
Note: This unit, under normal operating settings, should be self draining. It is rec-
ommended that the distiller be installed with a proper drain. The location of the boil-
ing tank drain outlet on the rear of the machine MUST be higher than the house-
hold drain. Failure to install the distiller properly could result in the unit draining hot
water onto the floor. If your installation plans do not call for installing with a drain,
you can manually close the drain by using the Manual Drain Kit. Pure Water cannot
be responsible for any damage resulting from improper installation.
