FIG 2
DRAIN CONNECTION
/ I. DRAIN CONNECTION
• 2.5mtrs of white low pressure drain hose is supplied with the unit. This is to be used for both the
drain and overflow. The drain connection is the black barbed elbow under the rear top cover. To
remove rear top cover, simply slide forward out of fixing, and lift off. Fix drain hose to black barbed
elbow with jubilee clip (supplied).
• Run the drain hose to either an upstand or an outside drain. Connect the drain hose to the spigot
of the Air Gap provided to ensure a 20mm air gap exists at the end of the drain line.
• If you need to extend the drain hose, this can be done by connecting to a 15mm copper tube for
a maximum run of 4 metres, with a minimum daytime pressure of 40 psi. Over 4 metres please use
22mm (or similar) copper tube.
• Ensure that the drain hose is adequately fixed to the copper pipe.
• The drain hose must not dip or be kinked in any way, as this will lead to an overflow of the
machine.
• UPHILL? The white flexible drain hose can run uphill internally, for a maximum of 3 feet, with a
minimum water pressure of 40 psi.
• Under no circumstances should the drain and overflow share the same pipe. This could lead to foul
smells entering the cabinet from the main drain via the overflow. Also, if the common drain ever
gets blocked, the water can re-enter the conditioner via the overflow pipe.
/ J. OVERFLOW CONNECTION - IMPORTANT (White elbow connection on back of cabinet)
• The hose for the overflow should be cut from the white low pressure hose supplied with the unit.
• The overflow connection is the ½” hose spigot on the rear right hand corner of the cabinet – no
jubilee clip required.
• The overflow must be run downhill and terminate immediately through an outside wall without kinks
or restriction.
• A 22mm (or similar) copper protective sleeve through the outside wall will help prevent kinking of
the hose.
/ K. TEST INSTALLATION FOR LEAKS
Place the bypass handles in the horizontal Bypass position. Open mains stopcock slowly to flush the
new pipe work. This can be done using a mains tap i.e. utility room cold tap or wash hand basin in a
bathroom. Check all connections for leaks.
/ H. INLET & OUTLET CONNECTIONS - See Fig 2
• Remove the main cover to access the inlet and outlet
connections.
• Remove grey retaining clips and also BSP connection points.
Connect hoses to male BSP connection points, tighten to seal, then
reinsert BSP connection points back into valve body. Fit grey clips.
The connection points are designed to rotate once inserted in valve
body. This removes any stress/ pressure.
• We recommend you fit the elbow end of the hose to the inlet/
outlet connection points on the Magnesio.
Under no circumstances use washing machines hoses or plumb the
conditioner in solid copper pipe.
