If water is allowed to freeze in the system, serious damage to the pipe work and pump may occur. To best avoid this
damage, completely drain the water system.
1. Drain the tank either using the pump or a drain valve.
2. Open the trigger (including drain valve) and allow pump to purge the water from the system and turn pump off.
3. Disconnect the pump and turn on to purge into an adequate basin. Only reconnect the pump when the water
system it is to be used.
4. Remember to leave trigger open to avoid any damage.
We herewith declare that the Saltwater pump range conforms to the requirements of the EMC directive 89/336/EEC,
