PLUMBING (CONTINUED) - ALL MODELS
Now cut the drain/overflow hose into two lengths, fit them onto the drain and
overflow spigots on the softener and secure with the plastic clips (fig. 7).
Pass the overflow hose through a hole in an outside wall so that its end can be
seen. The drain hose may be connected directly into an open drain or via waste
fittings similar to that used by a washing machine. A gap (minimum 20mm)
must exist between the end of the drain hose and the top of the drain grid sill.
Check that new pipework is free from swarf and debris and then connect the
softener to the inlet and outlet valves. Use the flexible hoses provided, with the
elbow unions 'fitted to the softener valve and the 'filter discs positioned in the
straight union end of the hoses.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The power supply should be provided through either a switched fuse spur or a
three pin plug and switclled socket. In either case, a 3 amp fuse must be used
and the supply must be earthed.
LOCATING THE SOFTENER
First check the plumbing and wiring connections are properly secured. Ensure
the hoses are not kinked and the overflow hose slopes away from the softener,
then move the softener into its required position.
FILLING YOUR SOFTENER WITH SALT
Ensure the softener is in its final position before filling with salt. Pour pellet or
granular salt slowly into the cabinet, ensuring the final level of salt does not
exceed the maximum level marked on the brine pick-up tube. Do not overfill.
