Step 7Assemble the Accessories
Assemble the air tank and compressor by joining with appropriate air fittings.
You will need a T connection to join the compressor to the storage tank and to the line that goes to the foot valve. Connect the compressor to the battery to charge up the air tank. It's best to pre-charge the air tank from a bigger compressor or gas station so the little 12 volt compressor doesn't get initially overworked.
Since the foot valve uses garden hose fittings, a garden hose adapter is required from the air hose to it. A garden hose can be used from the foot valve to the turbine.
A garden hose Y-connector joins the compressed air and water pressure streams, just before they go into the nozzle of the turbine.
The solar panel is connected to the 12 volt battery with the enclosed clips, and keeps the battery topped up through the daytime sunlight. (works on cloudy days too!)
