AIR GAP REQUIREMENTS

(See Figure 4). 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

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 4).
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 Filtration
System be installed near a drain. However, if a drain
is not available, it is still possible to operate the
Central Water Filtration System in a manual Clean
Rinse mode. See "Operating in Manual Clean Rinse
Mode" section in the detailed owner's manual (go to
www.whirlpoolwatersofteners.com or call 1-866-
986-3223). The automatic Clean Rinse function must
be disabled if the Central Water Filtration System will
not be connected to a drain.
