MDX-R3 FIBERGLASS WINTERIZATION
WITH CANISTER
WITHOUT CANISTER
If vacuum relief suction outlets are located below freeze
line skip steps 1 and 2.
1.
Remove grate from second suction and install a
13-¾ blow through plug and blow line to achieve
airlock.
2.
If 3rd suction line is installed remove grate, install
13-¾ blow-through plug and blow line to achieve
airlock.
3.
Go to canister instructions step 1 - 5 below.
4.
If vent tube is installed, install blow through plug
and blow line to achieve airlock. Repeat vacuum out
canister. Then complete canister step 5.
If vacuum relief suction outlets are located below freeze
line skip steps 1 and 2.
1.
Remove grate from second suction and install
13-¾ blow through plug and blow line to achieve
airlock.
2.
If 3rd suction line is installed remove grate, install
13-¾ blow-through plug and blow line to achieve
airlock.
3.
If vent line is installed in main suction line, plug vent
line and install blow through plug in pump inlet and
blow line to achieve airlock.
4.
Lastly, blow vent line to achieve airlock.
VENT TUBE WARNING LABELS
Included in each MDX-R3 are two warning labels that
need to be placed on the pool equipment if the pool is
to be winterized and has a vent tube on any of the drains
plumbed on the pool. Attach the smaller label to the vent
pipe where it terminates to atmosphere. (See Fig. 9)
Attach the larger label to the control panel next to the
controller for the pump with the vent tube plumbed to it.
(See Fig. 10)

WARNING
When starting pool after winterization, remove plug
from atmospheric vent pipe before energizing pool
pump(s)!
Test vent by blocking drain. Air should enter the pipe
and cause the pump to cavitate releasing the suction on
the drain block.
AveRtIssemeNt
Lors du démarrage de la piscine après l’hiver, retirez le
bouchon du tuyau de ventilation atmosphérique avant
de mettre la pompe (s) de la piscine en marche!
Testez la ventilation en bloquant le drain. L’air doit entrer
dans le tube et provoquer la cavitation de la pompe et
relâcher l’aspiration sur le bloc de drainage.

WARNING
High Suction Atmospheric Vent!
Do not operate pool pump(s) with this pipe plugged!
If necessary to plug vent to winterize the pool do not
restart pool until plug is removed
AveRtIssemeNt
Ventilation atmosphérique à grande succion!
Ne pas faire fonctionner la pompe (s) de la piscine
avec un bouchon dans ce tuyau!
S’il est nécessaire mettre un bouchon pour hiverner
la piscine, ne pas redémarrer la piscine jusqu’à ce
que le bouchon soit enlevé.
