CARE OF YOUR FILTER
3C.
KEEP THE FILTER FROM FREEZING
If the filter is installed where it could freeze (summer
cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain all water
from it to stop possible freeze damage.
To drain the
filter
1.
Close the shut-off valve on the house main water
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 FIG. 10 on page 18, move the stem in
a single bypass valve to bypass.
Close the inlet
and outlet valve in a 3-valve bypass system, and
open the bypass valve.
4.
Unplug the transformer
at the wall outlet.
5.
Pull the holding clip to remove the drain fitting,
with drain hose attached,
from the valve.
DO
NOT LOSE THE BLACK RUBBER FLOW PLUG
AND RETAINER.
6.
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.
Remove
the bottle and feeder
valve from the
base.
Store the bottle in a warm; safe place
where
it will
not
spill,
and
AWAY
FROM
CHILDREN,
If you do not have a place to SAFELY store the bottle,
turn the feeder valve off and flush with fresh water.
Dump the liquid contents of the bottle down the drain.
Place the bottle in a plastic bag and discard in a safe
place and manner so children can not get to it.

Move the filter close to the floor drain. SLOWLY
and CAREFULLY
(the filter is heavy) tip the filter
over so the valve inlet and outlet are over the
drain.
Allow water to drain from tank. DO NOT
REST THE FILTER ON THE INLET AND OUT-
LET FITTINGS
OR THEY WILL BREAK.
Tip the bottom of the filter up a few inches and
hold until all water has drained.
until you are ready to use it. Plug
the inlet and outlet with rags to keep dirt, bugs,
etc. out.
