Step 1 From
the bathroom faucet, remove the aerator by unscrewing it. (If your
bathroom faucet does not have an aerator, you will have to use your
kitchen faucet or an outside faucet.)

 Step 2 Attach
the faucet connector you purchased with your waterbed maintenance kit into
your faucet. Next attach in a garden hose to the faucet connector. Make a
tight fit to avoid spray leakage (a towel placed over the faucet while filling
will keep any leakage from spraying.) To help eliminate unclean water in your bed,
flush running water through the garden hose for a minimum of 10 minutes before
filling your bed. |
 Step 3
Attach the waterbed hose connector onto your garden hose. Insert it into
your "popped-up" valve and attach the hose connector and valve securely
together to avoid leakage. Wrap a towel around this connector to soak up
any unavoidable leakage. |
 Step 4
Pour in your waterbed conditioner. Fill your waterbed with mild to warm water
approximately one quarter to one half inch below the side of the frame boards.
Shut off the water and remove the hose. |
 Step 5
Remove the air bubbles inside the mattress. Do this by "pushing" them with a
broomstick towards the valve which is "popped up". Remove all the bubbles or they will create a
"sloshing" sound. You will have to remove air bubbles again in about three days and
also occasionally thereafter. |
 Step 6
Insert the plug and securely screw on the cap. Plug in your temperature
control system according to specific manufacturer's instructions and turn
the thermostat to 85. Within 3 days, you can more accurately adjust up or
down to your comfort. |
 Step 7
This close up photo shows how to insert your cap and plug without
allowing air to get in the mattress and without allowing water to
spill out. Your cap and plug may be a one piece design. Not separate
as shown.
