5. Drain the hypochlorite solution from the
system and refill with potable water.

vinegar solution mixed in the ratio of 1
quart of vinegar to 5 gallons of water.

8. Drain the system and refill with fresh

The
Everpure QC2 Water Filter
is located
under the galley sink. (See Fig. 4.) It will
remove even very fine dirt and colloidal
matter, and eliminates most chlorine, phe¬
nol, and similar distasteful odors and tastes
while delivering sparkling taste-free water
for drinking and cooking. The filter is
connected to the cold water galley drinking
faucet only. The filter will also remove iron
and sulphur provided the water supply is
chlorinated. Super-chlorination will precipi¬
tate the iron and sulphur which will then be
removed by the QC2 Filter. To purify any
questionable water, fill the Everpure Chlo¬
rine Disinfectant Dispenser with liquid
bleach and add
Vt
ounce (one teaspoon¬
ful) per 10 gallons of water to the water tank
(i.e. 4V2 teaspoons for a 45 gallon tank).
The water will remain sparkling clear even
to the end of the filter life, however, as the
minute pores slowly fill up with impurities
the flow rate will be gradually reduced.
When it becomes too slow for convenience,
the cartridge can be very simply changed.
Follow the instructions on the cartridge. We
advise keeping a spare cartridge at
all times.
