- 1). Shut off the power and water supplies to the system. This helps make sure the system will not turn on when the system is drained.
- 2). Drain the water from the system. Most likely, if there is no tank installed, the system self-drains after each use. Be sure to check.
- 3). Cut the supply pipe between the water supply and the distribution valve. The cut should be made where the tank will reside.
- 4). Install the pipe tee at the location of the pipe cut. Install the tee per the requirements of the pipe.
- 5). Install the 1-foot of pipe to the tee side of the tee. This will be the pipe to the tank.
- 6). Attach the tank the the pipe. Some tanks may require more pipe to complete the connection.
- 7). Reconnect the water and power supplies. Test the system for leaks.
