I SECTION 6 I CARE OF YOUR FILTER
KEEP THE FILTER FROM FREEZING
If the filter is installed where it could freeze (summer
cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain al! 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.
.
Looking at FIG. 11 on page 13, 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.
.
6.
Pull the holding clipto remove the drainfitting, with
drain hose attached, from the valve.
Looking at FIG. 5 on page 9, remove tt_e plastic
clips and pull the adaptors or bypass valve from
the inlet and outlet.
. Move the filter close to the floor drain. SLOWLY
and CAREFULLY (the filter is heavy) tip the filter
over sothe valve inletand outlet are over the drain.
Allow water todrain from tank. DO NOT REST THE
FILTER ON THE INLET AND OUTLET FITTINGS
OR THEY WILL BREAK.
.
Tip the bottom of the filterup a few inchesand hold
until all water has drained. Leave the filter laying
like this until you are ready to use it. Plug the inlet
end outlet with rags to keep dirt, bugs, etc. out.
