Water Supply System
The reservoir can be supplied continuously with an ordinary garden hose by attaching the supplied hose adapter
to the fill connection, or it can be filled manually.
With a continuous water supply connected, the float valve in the reservoir (like the one in your toilet tank) rises
and falls with the water level. A linkage attaches the float to the shutoff valve in the fill connection. As the water
level rises to normal operating level (about 5" deep), the float valve shuts off the water supply. When the water
level drops, the float valve reopens to maintain a normal operating level.
After unplugging the unit, the reservoir can also be filled manually with a hose or bucket if a hose connection is
impractical. Simply remove the cap and pour the water directly into the reservoir. When you fill the reservoir
manually it can be filled to a higher level, but be sure to watch the fill gauge to avoid overfilling and flooding.

Manual Fill
Water damage due to overfilling is not covered by the warranty.
When you run the unit and fill it manually, check the water level frequently
so it does not run dry. The automatic shut-off feature is intended to
prevent operation of the pump without water, which can damage it or
reduce its service life. The cooling effect also stops if the pads dry.
Pads and grates must be in place before operating unit.
