9. Close all jets, by turning jet faces counter clockwise.
10. Put on your protective goggles in order to protect eyes from air, water, antifreeze or debris exiting
the jets or drains.
11. Insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into the filter element fitting. Some models may have 2
filters. Begin with the left-hand filter fitting, which will help evacuate water from the circulation pump
system. Then proceed to the right-hand filter fitting. When using air blower on single-filter systems
or the right-hand fitting on dual filter systems, rotate each of the jet faces clockwise to open and
counter-clockwise to close again. Do this to each jet face, one jet at a time. Be careful, as water will
be coming out of each jet fitting as you perform this maneuver. Perform this operation, until no
more water is coming from the jets.
12. Remove jet faces and insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into each jet fitting. Continue this
process, until no more water comes out of any jet fitting or drain fitting and you no longer hear
water gurgling within the plumbing. Place all jet faces in a plastic bag and set aside until you are ready
to use your system again.
13. Remove both bleeder valves from the top of the filter canister area. Place hose of a high-pressure air
blower into the rear-most bleeder fitting first. Confirm that water mist is blowing from one or both
of the circulation system; return jets in the footwell of the system. You may also get some water
mist blowing from the filter canister. Repeat this process with the front-most bleeder fitting. Confirm
that water mist is blowing from the drain fittings of the jet pumps.
14. Place the hose of a commercial grade, wet-vacuum over each jet fitting, bleeder valve fitting, and drain
fitting to draw out as much remaining standing water as possible.
15. Remove drain hose bib assembly from the outside bottom of the system.
16. Use the wet-vacuum to remove standing water from the pumps and any other fittings within the
equipment compartment.
17. Once you are sure that all water is evacuated from the plumbing and equipment of the system, put
the system back down in its normal position and repeat Step 10 and Step 11
18. Read all Directions and Safety Precautions on the Swimming Pool or Recreational Vehicle antifreeze
bottle before opening and using. Ensure that it is non-toxic and safe for this use. Beware of and
follow all safety precautions.
19. Using a long funnel, begin pouring non-toxic swimming pool or recreational vehicle water system
antifreeze into the filter canister fittings, bleeder valve fittings and jet fittings of your system.
Continue adding antifreeze until it comes out of the drain fittings or from the opening you are
pouring it into. You must complete this task for every jet fitting in the system. Some of the
antifreeze will seep into the system from the drain or jet fittings, which is okay, the goal is to have
anti-freeze collect in the areas of the plumbing that would normally trap water. Use the funnel to
also place antifreeze into the pump housing(s).
When pouring antifreeze into the rear-most bleeder valve fitting, you may see antifreeze
pouring from one or both of the circulation system return fittings.
