This is the part that you may need to adapt to your situation depending on what your plumbing supply store had. I used the valves to stop the water flow when I need to change the filter media. Put teflon tape on the threaded 3/4" to 1/2" tube conector then thread them each into the valves.youll need to connect your hoses to the pump and to the valves. its very detailed as to which hoses to wear but look at the pictures. also if you should be able to figure out how you need to set it up. I used the female garden hose connectors to attatch to the filter itself. youll need to slide on the hose then use the channel lock pliers to pinch the connector down into the hose. i had to attatch the 90 degree corner to the bottom or outlet of the filter so the hose wouldnt kink. the technique i used to get the hoses to fit was use very hot almost boiling water and let the hose sit in it for 30 seconds or so then take it out and stretch it open with the needle nose pliers. then give it your all and force it onto the connectors. use a towel to help grip and protect your hands. try to get them seated as far on as possible for best fit. if needed because of a slow leak or just for more security attatch hose clamps to the ends also.



also put in hoses to and from the tank. one valve should be on each the inlet and outlet hoses. my hose from the tank happened to be 1" diameter but you'll need to get one to fit your pump.

the hose to the tank was 3/4" just to make things the same.
