attached to prevent leaking.

To connect the brine tank, begin by sliding the plastic brine injector nut on to the brine tubing by
putting the tubing through the non-threaded side of the nut. Next, slide the black (or clear)
compression ring on to the tubing with the narrower diameter going on first. Then slide the taller,
white compression ring on to the tubing with the wider diameter going on first. The two compression
rings should lay flush against each other on the tubing. Slide them in to the brine injector nut and
place the brine tubing into the brine valve. Finally, push the brine injector nut, which now has the
compression rings inside of it, on to the threading of the brine valve and rotate the nut clockwise,
screwing it on to the brine valve. Tighten it down to finger tightness. The tubing should be firmly
attached and not slide out if pulled on.
