System care and maintenance
Winterising
Allowing water to freeze in the system
may result in damage to the pump and
plumbing system.
Non-Toxic antifreeze for potable water may be
used with Flojet pumps. Follow manufacturers
recommendations.
Do not use automotive antifreeze to
winterise potable water systems. These
solutions are highly toxic and may cause
serious injury or death if ingested.
1. Drain the water tank (if fitted). Open tank
drain valve. You may use the pump to drain
the tank by opening all the faucets in the
system. Allow the pump to operate until)
the tank is empty. Do not operate the pump
more than 15 minutes continuously
2. Open all faucets and purge the water from
the plumbing system. Turn power to the
pump off. Be sure that all the water from
the drain lines are drained
Remove quick connect inlet and outlet fittings
from the pump and turn the pump on to pump
out remaining water from the pump head. Be
sure to have a catch pan or a rag under the
pump to prevent water from spilling. Turn the
pump off once the plumbing is empty. Leave
the fittings disconnected from the pump until
the system is ready to be used again. Make a
note on your tank filler that the plumbing is
not connected.
Be sure that all faucets are left open to protect
against damage to the plumbing.
Sanitising
Portable water systems require periodic
maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of fresh
water. Depending on use and the environment
the system is subject to, sanitising is
recommended prior to storing and before using
the water system after a period of storage.
