6. The brine refill flow control assembly is installed in an easy to access refill 

elbow  located  on  top  of  the  control  valve.  The  refill  flow  control  assembly  is 

attached to the control valve with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow 

to rotate 270 degrees so the outlet can be oriented towards the brine tank.

7.  Connect  the  brine  line  polytubing  found  with  the  brine  tank  to  the  brine 

connection on the control valve. The control valve has a standard refill elbow 

to which a 3/8” flexible tube can be connected, see

 

below. One polytube insert 

is  shipped  on  the  brine  line  elbow’s  locking  clip.  Remove  this  white  polytube 

insert and replace the locking clip. The second polytube insert is taped to the 

top of the brine well cap in the brine tank. Press the polytube inserts into each 

end of the provided brine tubing, press the polytube with insert into the nut on 

the brine fitting. Tighten nut securely to create a pressure tight connection. The 

nut, gripper and retainer sleeve is a three-piece assembly that can come apart 

from the elbow body. Parts must be reassembled exactly as shown to function 

properly.  If  the  nut  is  completely  removed  from  the  body,  slip  the  nut,  plastic 

gripper and retainer sleeve on to the tube then tighten on to the fitting. Make sure 

the floor is clean beneath the brine tank and that it is level and smooth. Install 

brine tubing to the brine tank using the above instructions.

8. A 1/2” (inside diameter, not provided) gravity drain line should be connected 

to the overflow fitting on the side of the brine tank. This overflow is in case of a 

malfunction in the brine shut off. If the unit is installed where water may flow in the 

event of an overflow and cause water damage, connect a length of flexible tubing 

and run to a drain below the level of the overflow. 

(Do not connect the tubing to 

the drain line on the control valve. Do not run tubing above overflow height 

at any point.)
