If not, disconnect the 1/4" red tubing and replace with an adequate length of tubing to reach the drain point. Refer to Step 6 later in the manual on how to disconnect and connect tubing. NOTE: A flow control insert is located in the red tube. Refer to Key No. 14 on Page 26. This insert must be saved and placed in the new length of tubing. 4. Run the tubing to the drain point and secure at the end with a bracket (purchased locally). See Figure 10. Provide a 1-1/2" air gap between the end of the tube and the drain.

The life of the cartridge depends mostly on of the supply water. (see specifica- tions). Cartridge life is shorter with higher pH. For example, if supply water pH is from 6.8 to 7.7, the cartridge may last for well over one year. However, cartridge life may be as short as 6 months if the pH is as high as 8.5 to 10. Higher pH weakens the cartridge membrane and causes pin-hole leaks.
