black sponge

5.

Locate and remove the parts pack which is inside
the unit

6.

Make sure bottom sponge is pushed all the way
down. Be careful of using your hand as the tube could
get stuck around it or your arm. We recommend using
rod or something similar to push the sponge flat to
bottom plate.

7.

Using the provided 60" roll of PTFE tape and wrap
both threads on the included barb fittings. Hint: Leave
first thread or two unwrapped, be sure to wrap the
fitting clock-wise or the same way the fitting turns
installing. Otherwise you will unthread the tape
lead to a leak. Fittings should be wrapped so
snug when twisted in by hand. Be careful not
too much tape or over tighten these fittings,
