Care of Your Whole Home Water Filtration System
VACATIONS AND EXTENDED PERIODS OF
NO WATER USE
If your Whole Home Water Filtration System will not be
used for an extended period of time (several months),
please follow one of these recommendations:
= If the water supply to the unit is not turned off, and
the automatic Clean Rinse function has not been
disabled, then no further actions are required.
= If the Clean Rinse cycle cannot be automatically
run, due to the water supply being shut off, the
power supply being unplugged or the automatic
Clean Rinse function being disabled, then it is rec-
ommended that a minimum of 2 manually initiated
Clean Rinse cycles be performed when the system
is placed back into operation (see Start a Clean
Rinse Cycle section on Page 13).
= In any installation where there is a possibility of
freezing, the Whole Home Water Filtration System
should be disconnected and the water drained (see
Protect the Whole Home Water Filtration System
from Freezing section).
PROTECT THE WHOLE HOME WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEM FROM FREEZING
If the Whole Home Water Filtration System is installed
where it could freeze (summer cabin, lake home, etc.),
you must drain all water from it to stop possible freeze
damage. To drain the unit:
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 unit.
3. Move the stem in the single bypass valve to bypass.
Close the inlet and outlet valve in a 3 valve bypass
system, and open the bypass valve. If you want
water in the house pipes again, reopen the shut-off
valve on the main water pipe.
4. Unplug the power supply at the wall outlet. Remove
the cover. Take off the drain hose if it will interfere
with moving the Whole Home Water Filtration
System into position over the drain.
5. Remove the large holding clips at the Whole Home
Water Filtration System inlet and outlet. Separate
the unit from the plastic installation adaptors, or
from the bypass valve.
6. Lay a piece of 2 inch thick board near the floor
drain.
7. Move the Whole Home Water Filtration System
close to the drain. Slowly and gently, tip it over until
the rim rests on the wood block with the inlet and
outlet over the drain. Do not allow the unit’s weight
to rest on the inlet and outlet fittings or they may
break.
8. Tip the bottom of the Whole Home Water Filtration
System up a few inches and hold until all water has
drained. Leave the unit laying like this until you are
ready to use it. Plug the inlet and outlet with clean
rags to keep dirt, bugs, etc. out.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
Whole Home Water Filtration System.
Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
