Procedure for Winterizing

1.
Shut the power off to the system and make sure that it cannot be accidentally turned back on.
2.
Remove filter elements from filter assembly.
3.
Drain water from the system using the drain fitting and garden hose or you may use a submersible
pump for f
4.
Open the equipment compartment and locate pumps and heater.
5.
Remove all of the drain plugs from each pump.
6.
Loosen unions on both sides of each pump, and the heater if applicable.
7.
If your system has a Dynamic Jet Sequencer, please remove that access panel as well and loosen all
unions on each of the sequencer valves. There are 6 sequencer valves, that means that you will have
to loosen 12 unions.
8.
Tip the system onto one side. (The system will have some water remaining, which will add to the
weight). Be sure to have enough people available to safely lift the weight of your system. Do not tip
system onto equipment bay side.
Close all jets, by turning jet faces counter clockwise.
9.
Put on your protective goggles in order to protect eyes from air, water, antifreeze or debris exiting
the jets or drains.
10. Insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into the filter element fitting. Some models may have 2
filters. Begin with the left-hand filter fitting, which will help evacuate water from the circulation pump
system. Then proceed to the right-hand filter fitting. When using air blower on single-filter systems
or the right-hand fitting on dual filter systems, rotate each of the jet faces clockwise to open and
counter-clockwise to close again. Do this to each jet face, one jet at a time. Be careful, as water will
be coming out of each jet fitting as you perform this maneuver. Perform this operation, until no
more water is coming from the jets.
11. Remove jet faces and insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into each jet fitting. Continue this
process, until no more water comes out of any jet fitting or drain fitting and you no longer hear
water gurgling within the plumbing. Place all jet faces in a plastic bag and set aside until you are ready
to use your system again.
12. Remove both bleeder valves from the top of the filter canister area. Place hose of a high-pressure air
blower into the rear-most bleeder fitting first. Confirm that water mist is blowing from one or both
of the circulation system return jets in the footwell of the system. You may also get some water mist
blowing from the filter canister. Repeat this process with the front-most bleeder fitting. Confirm that
water mist is blowing from the drain fittings of the jet pumps.
13. Place the hose of a commercial grade, wet-vacuum over each jet fitting, bleeder valve fitting, and drain
fitting to draw out as much remaining standing water as possible.
Remove drain hose bib assembly from the outside bottom of the system.
14. Use the wet-vacuum to remove standing water from the pumps and any other fittings within the
equipment compartment.
15. Once you are sure that all water is evacuated from the plumbing and equipment of the system, put
the system back down in its normal position and repeat Step 10 and Step 11
16. Read all Directions and Safety Precautions on the Swimming Pool or Recreational Vehicle antifreeze
bottle before opening and using. Ensure that it is non-toxic and safe for this use. Beware of and
follow all safety precautions.
