DO NOT PROCEED further until a reliable softened
water supply is available.
The salt saturator is filled with a pre-charge of the correct
specification of salt and the water level has reached its
full level governed by the float valve. Saturation allowed
for at least one hour.
The hydrogen gas sensor detection kit is correctly
installed and electrically connected via the 4-pin
plug/M12 cable assembly as per installation instruction.
The PSU cabinet will require powering up to provide the
electrical supply to the whole system.
