XIV. Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the fi lter
As we are unable to determine the number of family members in each particular household,
we recommend that you inspect and clean the fi lter every week. If you realize that the build
up of residue in the fi lter does not warrant cleaning the fi lter every week, we recommend
that you decrease the frequency of inspecting and cleaning of the fi lter by three days at
a time, (every ten days, every thirteen days, every sixteen days, and so on...), until you
determine the proper time interval for your particular situation. To reduce the frequency
of required fi lter cleanings, it is recommended that users install an inexpensive hair fi lter
in the bath and shower drains or a "Y" Strainer on the grey water line before the BRAC
Systems fi lter housing. Also bear in mind that the capture of laundry water will cause the
fi lter to clog more frequently, due to laundry lint.
Procedure:
1.
If the potable water bypass is installed, open the bypass valve to allow the toilets
to operate on potable water during this procedure.
2.
If the greywater bypass is installed, close the bypass valve to divert any bath
drainage to the sewer during this procedure.
3.
Unplug both the pump power cord and the transformer from the power source to
secure the system.
4.
Remove the tank lid and the screw cap from the fi lter housing.
5.
Carefully remove fi lter from housing.
6.
Rinse the cartridge fi lter in the sink or outside with a garden hose. If necessary,
soak fi lter in 50% water and 50% cartridge fi lter cleaning solution for 12 hours and
then rinse with water. Use the replacement fi lter while fi lter is soaking.
7.
Return the fi lter to the housing, replace fi lter housing cap and tank's lid. Apply
a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the rubber o-ring on the screw cap to ensure a
proper seal.
8.
Close potable bypass valve, and greywater bypass valve, if applicable.
9.
Plug in the transformer and pump's power cord.
If the fi lter is damaged, or has to be replaced, please use the extra fi lter, which has been
supplied by BRAC SYSTEMS. We recommend that you purchase new fi lters from your
local BRAC SYSTEMS dealer or representative so that you always have an extra fi lter
on hand. Tip: Some users have found it convenient to alternate the use of the factory-
installed fi lter and the extra fi lter provided at each cleaning procedure.
