Storage of Equipment
If the system will be off for a prolonged time period, water feed to the MIOX OSG
should be turned off at the inlet to the water softener. In addition, the brine tank,
tubes, and piping should be drained, and the brine proportion pump should be
flushed with clean water.
If the OSG is being shut down for the winter, the water softener should be protected
from freezing, either by heating the room, removing the softener to a heated
location, or draining the softener. If the OSG is completely drained, the OSG itself
does not have to be relocated. Draining includes the electrolytic cell, the brine tank,
and all piping. The brine proportion pump should be purged with fresh water before
draining. Dried salt in the brine proportion pump head can cause startup difficulties
when the unit is restarted. If compressed air is available (<50 psi (345 kPa)) blow
out all passages.
