TROUBLESHOOTING
WINTERIZING
NOTE:
Failure to winterize your filter properly may result in damage
to the system which is NOT covered under any warranty.
•
At the end of the season once you disconnect filter system, remove the valve from the tank.
Valve selector handle should be positioned BETWEEN any of the notches to allow for air
ventillation through the valve to protect from cracking.
•
Remove drain plug from bottom of filter tank to drain water out of the filter. Keep this plug
off for the winter to allow any potential moisture build up to escape from tank.
•
Empty ALL sand from the filter system and dispose of. It is recommended to replace sand
EACH season.
•
Rinse out inside of tank and air dry. Remove standpipe from tank.
•
Store tank in an area where it will be protected from the elements and keep valve and tank
stored APART to protect from condensation forming and causing cracks in the tank or valve.
•
Run clean water (Not chlorinated water) through pump to rinse out and store in a warm, dry
place for the winter.
