Does this system require a drain like all salt-based systems do?

No drain is required. It is inserted in-line into your incoming water supply line. When its time to replace the filter, rotate the filter control cap to the OFF position and loosen the locking collar to remove the housing and gain access to the filter cartridge using the included wrench tool. Pull the old cartridge and replace with a new one. Place the housing back into position and tighten the locking collar; rotate the control cap back to FILTER and you are done. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

No just works with the filter but doesn't have that silky feel like salt water systems do.

No drain required. When changing the cartridge, you will have to tip out the water from the unit.

I'm sure there is some since I have the system connected to a drain line, but it's not something that I've ever noticed. There's no noise and I haven't seen a noticeable increase in my water bill since installing the system. I recently had to drain my pool and refill it. That made my water bill go up about $25 for around 12,000 gallons of additional water for that month. With that said even with waste water from the system it is not going to spike your water bill once you install it. I hope this helps. You might contact the manufacturer for details.

Thus far, I had no need to flush the system. I have a permanent set up and I simply leave the water in. I usually use up a full load of water in approximately two days.

No drain. You have to turn it to dump water and hang to dry. It's easy to maintain. Great tub! Love ours.

yes. just be sure to flush system completely . no water or regular coolent is used with this product.

No I think you would need a separate system for a bottom drain with a seperaye pump

this unit does not work on the same theory as as the salt units which exchange sodium for solid substances in the water,they magnetize the in coming water to keep the solids from attaching themselves to the surfaces of the sink ,tub ect.,so you will not need salt.you can use PVC pipe no problem but this product WILL NOT effect rust

the salt water system connects directly in line with the pump, the water flow should be coming out of the pool, into the inlet connection of the pump, then from the outlet of the pump to the inlet of the salt water generator, and finally from the outlet of the salt water generator into the pool. I hope this helps you. By the way, I love my salt water system so far. A little trick I found out about this system is after running it a while, you may get a low salt alarm. Instead of immediately adding salt, check to see if there is calcium buildup on the cells on the salt water system first and, if there is, try cleaning them first. It cleared my alarms every time so far. the salt water system connects directly in line with the pump, the water flow should be coming out of the pool, into the inlet connection of the pump, then from the outlet of the pump to the inlet of the salt water generator, and finally from the outlet of the salt water generator into the pool.

It has a hose connection so you can set it up to drain that way. I've only used it by emptying the bucket every few days.

We get complete drainage but I suspect the configuration of the basin may be a factor. Ours is VERY old, late '40's model so may be different than modern sinks.

Not sure about salt water system, but I do not think so. If chlorine gen is used, it must be placed after the heater. Don't know the water flow rate, but it works well even if the filter needs backwashing. I truly like this heater, much better than my previous heater without thermostat control. Very fast to reach desired temp, too.

Yes. It comes with a drain hose and an overflow drain hose. Can set it up to drain with one hose or use other if reservoir becomes full. Set mine to continually drain.

Yes you will need to drain and use the flush. You have to get all the water out. Draining leaves moisture behind. Water and Evans don't mix.

No, there is a filtration system hooked up to it, to keep sediment from entering the pump. I used a 5 gallon bucket and leave the hose on inside the bucket. Be careful not to turn the hose on too high, as the pressure from the hose will fill the bucket faster than the shower pump will drain it

This item does not have a drain. I just scooped out the excess water and added fresh ice as needed.

No! And the salt gets clogged really easy! You have to bang on it pretty good to get it clear. Hope this helps

No. There are different connection points for the pump and direct drain. The drain hose has to be attached to the direct drain connection point if you want to drain directly into a floor drain. The direct drain is a gravity drain.
