Physical Installation:
1. Unpack Kinex Salt Monitor System and inspect
components.
2. Place included paper drill template on salt drum lid
and align indexing features (i.e. Kinetico logo).
Note: The installation drilling template indexes all 4
Kinetico drums separately. (Check both sides to find
your indexing features).
3. Mark locations for mounting screws and laser bore by
poking awl through the template.
4. Place lid over trash can or bucket and drill holes.
• (4) 1/4” holes for mounting screws
• 1” hole for laser
5. Clean burrs from the drilled holes.
6. Using included #6x3/4” screws, washers and leveling
spacers, attach Salt Monitor body to the top of the
salt drum lid and check that it is level. The leveling
spacers go on the front 2 legs. The front legs are
those facing toward the reset button and LED light.
(Logo text is oriented correctly.)
Note: Leveling spacers are not required if device is
being installed on a Kinetico 18x35 drum.
Note: For outdoor installs only, attach the foam gasket
from the weather resistant cover kit (Part No. 10474)
prior to attaching the salt monitor to the salt drum lid.
See cover kit installation instructions for details.

the location of the brine well as shown on the drilling
