Step 3:
Place a bucket under the unit to collect the water.
Step 4:
Open a faucet downstream of the unit.
Step 5:
If you have installed the optional drain valve, open the drain valve. If you
do not have an optional drain valve, disconnect the Stainless flexible hose below
the unit and allow the system to drain for a few minutes.
Step 6:
When draining is complete, close the drain valve or reconnect the flexible
hose.
Step 7:
Close any faucets that were previously opened.
Cleaning the Unit
The Upstream has automatic quartz cleaning and does not normally require
disassembly and cleaning of the quartz - the quartz will remain clear and
transparent as glass. If a component of the cleaning device fails, such as the
wiper motor, or in extreme water cases the quartz may become fouled and
require manual cleaning. In this situation the UVT alarm will arise and alert you to
the unsatisfactory conditions. Follow the steps below to inspect the quartz and
disassemble the unit for quartz cleaning.
Caution:
Always shutdown and unplug the unit before performing any
maintenance. Never operate a unit unless the front panel is completely secured.
Tools Needed
slotted screwdriver
3/16" Hex wrench (Allen wrench)
Determining the Need for Cleaning
Step 1:
Shutdown and unplug the unit.
Step 2:
Remove the top cover by pulling each side of the plastic top cover
outward from the unit, and loosen the wing nuts or thumb screws.
Step 3:
Tilt and hold the front panel until it comes to rest at a 45
position.
Step 4:
Examine the quartz sleeve both inside and out. If it is clean, no
disassembly is required. Return the front panel to the upright position and tighten
wing nuts or thumb screws. Plug in the unit and operate as normal.
If the quartz sleeve is dirty on the outside, proceed to wipe it down with a clean
lint-free cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove the dirt. If the quartz sleeve is dirty
on the inside, proceed with in-place cleaning or disassembly.
Caution:
The quartz sleeve can break or chip if mishandled. Always handle it
with care and keep it in a safe place if it is removed from the unit. Do not strike
the quartz sleeve with any tool, since even the smallest chip can cause it to
break under pressure.
