4. Where the drain line is elevated but empties into a
drain below the level of the control valve, form a
7-inch (18-cm) loop at the far end of the line so that
the bottom of the loop is level with the drain line
connection. This will provide an adequate siphon trap.
5. Where the drain empties into an overhead sewer line,
a sink-type trap must be used.
IMPORTANT: Never insert drain line 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 conditioner.

Note: Standard commercial practices have been
expressed here. Local codes may require changes to these
suggestions.
Regenerant Line Connection
It will be necessary to install the regenerant line to the
regenerant fitting on the valve (3/8-inch NPT).
Be sure all fittings and connections are tight.
Overflow Line Connection
In the absence of a safety overflow and in the event of a
malfunction, the REGENERANT TANK OVERFLOW will direct
“overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor
where it could cause considerable damage. This fitting
should be on the side of the cabinet or regenerant tank.
To connect overflow, locate hole on side of regenerant
tank. Insert overflow fitting (not supplied) into tank and
tighten with plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown
(Figure 4). Attach length of 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) I.D. tubing (not
supplied) to fitting and run to drain. Do not elevate
overflow line higher than 3 inches (7.6 cm) below bottom of
overflow fitting. Do not tie into drain line of control unit.
Overflow line must be a direct, separate line from overflow
fitting to drain, sewer or tub. Allow an air gap as per drain
line instructions (Figure 3).

Battery Back-Up
The Performa ProSoft conditioner features a battery
back-up feature that will allow the controller to continue to
keep time and record water usage during a power outage.
The control’s display will not light, but the controller will
continue to measure water usage for up to five hours.
When power is restored to the unit, it will continue to work
as before. Connect a nine-volt alkaline battery to the
connecting cable at the back of the conditioner’s control
box, Figure 5.
