What to do
• A restriction in this drain hose may prevent
proper operation of the nozzle and venturi and
reduce or prevent brine draw during recharge.
• Separate drain lines.
• Refer to Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi As-
sembly instructions. With water pressure to
the water softening system off, take the nozzle
assembly apart. Inspect, clean and replace
as needed. Any foreign particle(s), scratches,
nicks, etc. in the passages can prevent opera-
tion. Be sure holes in the gasket are centered
over holes in the housing
• Complete Sanitization Procedures.
• At completion of recharge cycle (approx. 2
hours), run water from faucets to purge the
salty water.
Check pressure:

minimum 20 psi.
• Drain height above 8', pressure should be
minimum 50 psi.
• Clean and reconnect hose.
• Check for kinks in drain line
• Complete the Sanitization Procedures.
