To safely reinstall the plastic tube on a Pentair 5600SXT Series control valve:

1. Ensure the system is in bypass mode and water pressure is off.
2. Identify the correct port on the control valve for the plastic tube.
3. Use appropriate fittings to connect the plastic (typically 1/2-inch) tubing to the valve.
4. If reattaching to the brine line, align the brine tube with the hole in the brine tank and secure it with the overflow fitting.
5. Make sure all connections are tight and sealed.
6. Return the bypass or inlet valve to the service position after installation.

To safely reinstall the plastic tube on a Pentair 5600SXT Series control valve after it has lifted up about 3/4", follow these steps:

1. Ensure the system is in bypass mode to stop water flow.
2. Inspect the tube and fitting for damage or debris.
3. Align the plastic tube properly with the valve port.
4. Firmly push the tube back into the fitting until it is fully seated.
5. Confirm the connection is secure and flush.
6. Return the system to service mode and check for leaks.

If the connection uses an O-ring, ensure it is lubricated and properly seated.
