Insert the three batteries, paying attention to orientation, into the cassette. Push the cassette back into the controller.
- Page 8 Drill a 5.5 mm hole near the top of the water source, or use any pre-made hole, above the waterline but low enough to use the lid normally. Thread one end of tube through the inlet hole and attach the filter to the end. If using the water sensor, a hole of at least 10 mm is required to thread through. Attach water level sensor and tube/filter together using the cable ties provided so that the middle sensor is 2cm above the filter and the bottom sensor is hanging below the filter. The top sensor can be adjusted to give the warning level needed. The tube should now be adjusted so that the filter hangs at least 10cm above the barrel bottom.

It should be fitted to the water out tube between the pump and first dripper and must be higher than the water source. Its purpose is to prevent further dripping once the pump has stopped. It is a one-way valve which works by opening to allow air into the tube to break the siphon when the pump stops. Install if in any doubt, since it will not do any harm to how the overall system works.
