The assembly process is almost complete. Ensure that all the connections and fittings are properly
tightened and closed. Improper connections and/ or assembly will cause leaks that can result damage to

When connecting the tubes to the fittings; insert the tube in and push firmly to make a tight seal. If not
pushed in properly the connection will leak. If you notice a leak from any Push to connect fittings; remove
the tubing, ensure that the cut is clean and firmly reinsert back into the fitting until the tube stops.
Avoid cutting the tubes too short or fold, tie or close the tubes. Closed tubing can pressurize the
chambers, damage the reactor, cause explosion and/ or significantly reduce performance.
