4. Tighten elbow connector so open end (tube fitting) faces straight down.
5. Place Water Level Regulator Bracket Assembly on the lip of the bath pan
(drain side of the bath towards the rear of the unit). The small flange with
gasketing near the top of the bracket should rest against the inside of the bath
pan. The other two flanges with gasketing should rest against the outside of
the bath body.
6. Connect a 4” piece of tubing to serve as the vent tube. Connect the plastic
tubing from the bottom of the elbow connector (at the drain) and tighten the
connector fittings firmly to ensure a good seal.
7. Uncoil the Clearflo PVC tubing and press onto 1/4" Hose Barb Fitting
(located at the top of water level regulator). Hose clamps are provided to
ensure a good seal.
8. After refilling the bath with water, connect the other end of the PVC tubing
to the water supply and turn on water supply.
Caution
Miniumum is approximately 15 PSI, maximum is approximately 75 PSI.
Note
Water line marking on the Water Level Regulator is an indicator of the
approximate water level that will be maintained in bath. The assembly has been
set to maintain approximately 1¾" of water. To raise the set water level, loosen
clamp & raise Water Level Regulator to desired level (coincide with Water Line
mark) and tighten clamp to hold Water Level Regulator in place.
