When prompted via the app on your smartphone, confirm the approxi-mate distance between the bottom of the Sensor (C) and the water level, using a tape measure.
Note: If the app indicates a significantly different distance than you measured, try repositioning the sensor, since it may be detecting an object in the basin. After confirming the position of the Sensor (C), tighten the Zip Ties (D)
