Snap the (4) Legs into the Salt Grid Base. Then insert the Float Tube into the Salt Grid
Base. Push it through until it touches the ground.
Make sure that the hole in the Float Tube is facing straight outward (See next step).
Insert the Salt Grid Base you just assembled into the Brine Tank. Make
sure that the hole in the Float Tube lines up with the hole in the Brine Tank.
Adjust the rubber grommet on the Float Assembly to about 12 to 16 inches from the bottom of the Assembly.
Make sure all connections are hand tight. Be sure not to over tighten or use tools. It could damage the threads.

Remove the Nut from the top of the Float Assembly and set aside.
Watch for a small Plastic Insert that’s hiding behind the Nut. You’ll
need to insert it into the Brine Hose. It’s a good idea to do this
right away so this small piece doesn’t get lost.
Note: Make sure push that Plastic
Insert all the way into the Brine Hose.
NOTE: You will need to remove the Float Assembly to properly adjust

Brine Tank Assembly (continued)
Take the nut that you removed from the top of the oat
assembly and t it onto the end of the brine hose. Fit
enough so that just a little of the Brine Hose ts through the
nut. It will be a snug t so be sure it is tight.
Place the small plastic Insert into the end of the brine hose
where you just tted the nut.
Assemble the Valve Connection Pieces into the other end of the Brine Hose.

Hand tighten the nut onto the elbow and place the oat tube

Next pour two, 40 lb bags of softening salt into your brine tank
and place the cover of the brine tank on securely.
Important: Make sure not to over tighten the connections with
tools. Doing so could damage the threads.
