It hangs this way while soaking. Then you flip the hose around and the two open parts are hanging down to drain and dry

When you finish soaking the tubing, unplug ends, rinse and hang as a horseshoe opens ends down and let try.

The picture shows the tube if it has cleaning solution in it. To dry the tube it hangs over the round part seen in the picture with the tube openings hanging down.

I'm not sure why they show it this way. I hang mine over the top of the curved part with the open ends hanging down. It snaps into the ends of the curved part of the hanger so it doesn't slip off. I like mine. It works well for drying after I wash it. I like the plugs too. They keep the tube full of cleaning solution to soak the tube when I am washing it. I hope that helps.

It hangs like this while soaking. Then you rinse and flip it so the opening are hanging down to drain and dry
2092145
When it is in that position it is for when you are soaking the inside with a cleaning solution. It also hangs the other way to drip dry

You only hang the tube in that position for 30 minutes to let the soapy water do its cleaning thing. Then you rinse out the tube and hang it the other direction over the curve just under the hanger. It dries in that position.

The picture only shows thye soaking position. Notice the curved top of the hanger, that curve is used to drape the tubing for drip drying. You can use both positions at once. I clean my wife's unit the same time I clean my own. After the first one soaks, I flip it over to the drying side, then hang the second one to soak. When the first one is dry, I cap it to keep it clean, and hang it where the picture shows the caps hanging, then drape the second one to drip dry. It will actually hold two tubes at once.

You are correct, however, one can also hang the tube with the ends down over the blue semi-circle and it will even snap in place. Then it can drip dry over a few hours.

The key to using Slime tubes is to always turn the wheelso that the valve is on top, at the 12 O'Clock position. That way the slime slithers to the bottom, keeping the valve clear.If you try it at the bottom position, at 6 O'Clock, or in the vicinity,the Slime will go into your gauge, and if you are pumping it will come out.All we need to do is keep the valve up top, and all will be well : )

There is a keyhole opening on the bottom, BUT, the on/off switch is compressed WHEN it comes into contact with the surface while standing up or hanging. Hope this makes sense. You can hang it, but it will be ON the entire time it's hanging...!

The bottom of the tube is slightly narrower than the rest. The last plug you cut will be wedged in. All the others are loose. You can cut one or two, or fill the tube. Your choice.

Shaun, the water draws in through those slots you see and discharges out the tube connection. It must at least be partially submerged.

I hope I am telling you correctly, seeing as how I don't know which opening you are referring to. The tube coming out of the column does go into a water jacket and the bottom outlet is where your product comes out. You should run your cold water supply into the bottom (side) outlet and it will/should return to your supply to be cooled. Hope this helps.

I haven't used this tubing in that way. However, I have some that has been in my aquarium full (24/7) time for the better part of two (2) years at about 77deg F. I don't know what the effect alternately wetting and drying the tubing would do. I'd expect that wouldn't really affect the tubing but I don't absolutely know the answer to that.

Instal on the low pressure side, it is usually the smaller pipe coming off of the condenser. On mine it was the only pipe I could reach. Place it where you have room to put the charging hose and gage on. Also make sure once installed you can put the housing back on uninhibited. You cannot remove once installed because it pierces the pipe. Do not overfill.

As it was explained to me - the crimped end should be down. This fits into the larger section of pipe facing up. The reason for this is so that none of the creosote or liquid that condenses inside the pipe runs down and out of the pipe. The smoke will not leak even though the holes are facing up because of the draft effect.

There is a mechanism inside that forces the water down the tube and into the barrel until it is full. Then the water backs up in the tube and down the downspout. It really does work. I even bought a diverter for a different rain barrel and it worked perfectly.

When you take off the outer white part, the little top sort of cone-shaped plastic part that comes out? Right above the part that's open where the steam comes out, there's a little sort of square part on the side that you'll notice is closed on the bottom - just drop a few drops in there!

Was it working fine before this? You mean up to the top?? Is it possible that the salt has all clumped together to create a kind of dam? Or a drain tube is clogged? I've gotten help for things like this from the 800 number in the booklet.

You are not supposed to let the bucket run dry. Not sure what happens if you do. I went out once and there was only an inch or two of water in it but it was cold out. Steam was coming off the water. It's still working fine.

I was like whaaaaaat issssss this???? I tried to squeeze all the liquid but it still had a weird consistency. I thought it was just a random messed up tube. Looks like i was not the only one.

But HOW??? None of these things open up, and you can't reach around corners with sponges or hands through these tiny openings. Can someone please explain this to me? Is it a design flaw with literally ALL humidifiers or am I missing something? How do you get into the damn tank to clean the brownish/pinkish sediment that begins to coat them?Thanks!Melissa

Typically you can just stick your hose into your water source and pull the handle backwards and forwards until the water comes out. If that doesnt work you can get some water in the tube and blow the water into the pumps housing. This helps actually get water into the body of the pump if it wont pickup the water from its source. You have to understand that you need to allow your water source to not be sealed up otherwise your container of water will create a vacum as you are pumping something out and do not introduce air. If your water source is sealed it will need venting to stop the vacum. I used mine as a portable beer pump. Cheers

Hey Joey, The only way to condense water out of compressed air is to cool the air down. I ran mine along the wall then down to the concrete floor for 20 feet, then straight up to a water trap, right angle to mid way along the wall and never had water in my supply after the trap. Cool the copper as much as you can, Hot air will always contain water.
