WINTERIZING AND FREEZING
TEMPERATURE STORAGE NOTE: If the
system is exposed to freezing temperatures, 2 - 4
gal. (8 to 15 liters) of food grade glycerin
(propylene glycol) is also added to the final
storage chemical mixture to prevent the water in
the system from freezing.
14. Position the Rinse/Clean Outlet Valve [35] to the
Clean/Rinse Tank [50] return for a Closed Loop
re-circulation.
15. Operate the system by pressing the System Start
Switch. The Storage Chemical Solution is now
flows from the Clean/Rinse Tank, through the
System and back into the Clean/Rinse Tank in a
Closed Loop configuration.
Do not pressurize
the system above 50 psi maximum.
16. After approximately 20 minutes of re-circulation,
stop the system.
17. In order to empty the Clean/Rinse Tank, position
the Rinse/Clean Outlet Valve [35] to the Brine
Discharge, normal operating position.
18. Operate the system, which discharges the Storage
Chemical Mixture through the Brine Discharge
Thru Hull Fitting.
19. Stop the system just before depleting the Storage
Chemical Solution from the tank.
20. Position the Rinse/Clean Inlet Valve [4] to the
normal operating position.
The system may now be left unattended for up to
3 to 6 months. With ideal conditions including a
relatively new R.O. Membrane Element, a clean
system prior to storage, cool temperatures, and no
leakage of storage chemical within the system, it
provides protection for up to 6 months. Adverse
conditions provide only a month or less of safe
storage. Evaluate these factors before
determining the proper interval between repeated
rinsing and storage periods.
