To connect the overflow fitting, locate the hole inside of brine tank. Insert overflow fitting into tank and tighten with plastic
thumbnut from the inside. Attach a length of ½" I.D. tubing (not supplied) to the fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate overflow
line higher than 3" below bottom of overflow fitting. Do not connect this tube into the drain line of the control valve. Overflow
should be a direct, separate line from overflow fitting to drain, sewer, tub, or appropriate outdoor location. Allow an air gap as
per the drain line instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Never insert a drain line directly into a drain, sewer line, or trap. Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the
wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the water conditioner.
