CARE OF YOUR FILTER

E. KEEP THE FILTER FROM FREEZING

If the filter is installed where it could freeze (sum
mer cabin, lake home, etc.) you must drain all wa
ter from it to stop possible damage caused by
freezing. To drain the filter-

1. Close the shutoff valve on the house main wa

ter pipe, near the water meter or pressure
tank.

2. Open a faucet in the filtered water pipes to

vent pressure in the filter.

3. Looking at Figure 13 on page 4-1, move the

stem in a single bypass valve to bypass. Close
the inlet and outlet valves in a three valve by
pass system, and open the bypass valve.

4. Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet.

5. Pull the holding clip to remove the drain fit

ting, with drain hose attached, from the valve.

DO NOT LOSE THE BEACK RUBBER EEOW

PLUG AND RETAINER.

Looking at page 11 in the installation manual,

remove the plastic clips and pull the adaptors
or bypass valve from the inlet and outlet.

7. Move the filter close to the floor drain. SLOW

LY and CAREFULLY (the filter is heavy) tip
the filter over so the valve inlet and outlet are
over the drain. DO NOT RFST THE FILTER
ON THE INLET AND OUTLET EITTINGS
OR THEY WILL BREAK.

Tip the bottom of the filter up a few inches

and hold until all water has drained. Leave
the filter laving like this until you are ready to
use it. Plug the inlet and outlet with rags to
keep dirt, bugs, etc. out.
