Important:

The salt tank overflow is for safety only. If the

salt tank should overfill with water, the over- flow tubing carries it to the drain.

@Push the grommet into the hole in the salt tank wall so half is inside and half is outside.

@Push the bigger end of the tube adaptor into the grommet.

e Push one end of a length of 3 / 8" I.D. tubing onto

the tube adaptor, using the tube clamp to hold

it in place. Put the other end of the tubing over the floor drain.

Over-fill water must run downward through the tubing. Do not raise the tubing higher than

the grommet and tube adaptor (FIG. 12).

Do not connect to the valve drain hose you installed in step 1. Both drains must have a sepa- rate hose or tube.
