Step Two: Clean pump after each use
The pump should always be stored indoors.
For long term or winter storage, prepare the pump by running RV antifreeze through the system. This
will keep internal parts lubricated, protect against corrosion, and keep the unit from freezing.
•
The pump will be damaged if it freezes.
•
Protect the pump from freezing during storage by following the instructions below.
Preparing for storage:
1. Add antifreeze
2. Operate
briefly
Removing from storage:
1. Drain
2. Flush with
water
3. Disposal
4. Sanitize
CAUTION
Pour RV antifreeze into the pump system.
Note: RV antifreeze is non-toxic and biodegradable and generally safer
for the environment than automotive antifreeze.
Turn on the pump and run the pump system briefly until fluid is distributed
through plumbing system.
Drain the antifreeze left in the plumbing system into a suitable container.
Fill the potable water tank with potable water and run through the system.
Operate the pump system until the system is completely flushed. Be sure to
set up containers to capture the antifreeze flush water.
Dispose of the antifreeze and flush properly with potable water.
To ensure clean, safe drinking water, it is important for your health to
sanitize the potable water system if the pump has been sitting in storage or
has not been used for a while. The potable water holding tank, hot water
tank, and the water lines are potential places for bacteria to grow.
Before you start, read all of the instructions in this manual on how to
properly sanitize the plumbing system.
Before you get started, there are some things to consider.
•
You will need at least 5 to 10 hours of time to complete this task.
•
Remove the water filters while sanitizing the water system and
consider replacing the water filter when you have completed the
sanitation.
•
If you have a hot water tank, this is an ideal time to flush out the
hot water tank.
