Where To Install The Output Line For The Lippert Floë Freshwater Drain System

Published 12/10/2022

Question:

Kind of unclear on where the Pump is hooked into! Does the OUT Pressure line go into your main water line before the filter or after the filter and thru the pump? Appreciate a reply. Thank You,

The Floë Integrated Drain Down System # LC88FR is going to be installed in the line that runs between the the fresh water tank and filter/water pump.

Basically this means before the water pump and filter, which will keep the water and air pressure from the Floë all going in one direction. If you place it after the pump or filter then it would force air the backwards through these components, damaging them. 15 psi is relatively low compared the 40-50psi water pressure normally on your system so you won't need to worry about it damaging the filter.

You'll also need to install shutoff valves at your water heater if you don't already have them to prevent any damage to the water heater.

I've attached a video below where Shane will walk you through the installation.
