6.6  Antifreeze procedure (Winterizing procedure in cold climate - under 5°C) 

 

It is recommended to first perform the normal shutdown procedure by using SC1 in order to clean the system 
properly and prevent bacteria growth and inorganic material deposit.  
After this operation, Then the system must be flushed and filled with an antifreeze. 
The recommended antifreeze product is a solution of 

propylene glycol and unchlorinated water

The ideal concentration of propylene glycol is  

-

 

45% (for temperatures up to - 20°)  

-

 

55% (for temperatures up to - 30°). 

 ATTENTION 

Do not use ethylene glycol as this substance is toxic and non-degradable. 
 

The total volume of the solution must be about 15 liters. 
 
The procedure is similar to that used for chemical washing with SC1 and SC2 products: 
 

1.

 

Prepare the solution carefully mixing the propylene 
glycol with 15 liters of unchlorinated water

 by following 

the concentration suggested above. 

2.

  Disconnect the drain hose and the pumps suction 

hose. 

3.

  Connect two hose pieces to the drain and to the pump 

suction. 

4.

 

Insert  the  end  side  of  the  hoses  into  the  bucket, 
verifying that the hoses have been properly 

dipped in the solution and that they don't inhale air. 

5.

 

Open the depressurization valve at 45°. 

 

6.

 

Start the watermaker with the by-pass activated. 

 

7.

 

Leave  the  unit  running  for  approx.  15/20  minutes, 
checking that the hoses are properly positioned in the 
recipient,  so  that  to  avoid  inhaling  air  or  spilling  the 
liquid into the 
boat. 

 

8.

 

Shut the plant off and connect the original hoses 
taking care of not empty the system daring out the 
solution.

 

 

 

HYDRAULIC SCHEME FOR 

WINTERIZING PROCEDURE 

FIG. 6-2 

 

 

  ATTENTION 

It  is  necessary  to  perform  the  first  start-up  procedure  when  restarting  the  plant  after  a  shutdown 

procedure, in order to purge the air and drain out board the chemicals in the systems. 

 

 

Before proceeding with any kid of service it is strongly recommended to read carefully the instruction 

contained in this manual.
