b) Stainless Steel: Do the same as for laminate, except be really sure of your clearance space. Take a

metal punch (or a big nail) and give the magic spot a good hit. At this indentation drill a pilot hole.

A wood drill will not do it. You must use a metal drill bit suitable for stainless. Once the pilot hole is

made, follow up with a ½" hole and attach the faucet.

c) Marble or Granite: This is not that hard, but takes some time. You need a diamond tipped drill and

about 15-20 minutes. The price of a ½" diamond tipped drill is around $75.00. Since you will probably

never use it again, you would probably be better off either renting the equipment or calling in a Pro.

Most glass installers have diamond drills and all vendors of stone have them. Some will rent it out, as

will "Rent-All" stores. Start the hole by drilling a ½" hole in a piece of scrap wood. This will serve as a

guide. Hold the piece of wood and let the diamond drill bit do the work. DO NOT push down or apply

pressure. Keep the hole filled with water and wipe out the hole often. It is important to let the weight

of the drill be the pressure and to let it just grind away at its own pace (which is slow).

d) Wood: If you have a wood counter top you could of course drill out the hole just beside the sink.

Also please keep in mind that you could run the 1/4 " tubing to a location nearby your system.

Follow the schematic above. Use the other length of blue tubing that was cut in two pieces during

step 11.0. When you have your Aquasafe faucet firmly in place in the chosen location, insert the tube

leading from the faucet into the straight male adaptor on the left side of the Polishing Filter.

15.0 Connecting auto top-up Float Valve

Choose a point along the length of tubing that connects the tank to the male "T" of the final polish-

ing filter and cut the tube. Make sure to cut straight - NOT at an angle. Now insert each of the two cut

ends into two of the three ports of the 3 way "T" adapter found in small parts bag (Step 1, Fig. 25).

Next locate the 30 foot length of tubing (the coil that was NOT in a Parts Bag) and connect one end of

that length of tubing into the remaining port of the 3 way "T" adapter (Step 2, Fig. 25). You don't need

to use all 30 feet if your tank is closer but if you leave all of it intact you can move your tank further

away at a later date without purchasing a new length of tubing or a union adaptor.

On the other end of the same length of tubing you will need to cut away a 1 foot section. Make sure to

cut straight - NOT at an angle. Locate the remaining Manual Shut off Valve from your small parts bag

and reconnect the 1 foot piece of cut tubing to the main length using the Manual shut off Valve (Step

3, Fig. 25). If you ever need to shut off flow of water to the float valve, the manual shut off valve will be

your means to do so.

Next you will need to drill a 1/2 inch hole into the appropriate location of your plexiglass sump tank.

Choose this location carefully! when your sump is full the ball of the float should be 1/2 (HALF) sub-

merged. Pay attention to when choosing the mount location of the float valve. When the ball of the

float is half submerged, that is the point when it will cease the flow of water into your sump. Installing

the float a little too low is probably better than too high. Please pay close attention, take your time and

make sure to chose the right location!

If you have a glass sump you will simply need to clamp the float to the top of the glass sump.

You will need to have the float valve

mounted before hooking the tubing up

to the float valve. The tubing hooks into

the float valve by way of its compression

nut fitting. Insert the compression nut

over the tubing and 1 inch down the tub-

ing in such a way that the threads inside

the compression nut are facing the float

valve (Fig. 26).

Next, slide the compression ferrule over

the tubing. Now screw the compression nut onto the shaft of the float valve. Use a pair of pliers to

tighten further to ensure the compression nut is doing its job to form the seal on the tubing.
