Series models do not have enough internal space to
accommodate 3 gallons of antifreeze initially. Remove the
plug from the Outlet Stainless Steel Flex Hose and drain
some antifreeze/water mix from the System into an empty
container. Add the remainder of the antifreeze into the
Internal Prefilter cavity. The fluid level in the System must
be at least 2" above the bottom of the Internal Prefilter
cavity. Reinstall the plug into the Outlet Stainless Steel
Flex Hose.
Do NOT allow the plumbing antifreeze/ water mix to
drain onto the ground, or into a septic bed, storm
sewer or any body of water. Check the plumbing
antifreeze manufacturer’s directions and warnings
for more information.
