Manual recirculation sanitization procedure 
(MDS 
and LDS) 

1. 

PRESS the process button to commence 
recirculation. 

2. 

ISOLATE the feed supply. 

3. 

ISOLATE any water treatment installed in the loop 
that may be effected or react with Minncare  (Ion-
exchange cylinders, UV etc.). 

4. 

DRAIN reservoir to between 60 to 90 liters by 
opening a convenient point-of-use. 

Note:  It is recommended to install a point-of-use, which 

is directed to drain as close to the unit as 
possible in the loop return line. 

5. 

CLOSE the outlet once the level reaches between 
60 to 90 liters. 

6. 

PRESS the process button to switch the process 
OFF. 

7. 

UNSCREW the access cap on the top of the tank 
(

MDS

 and 

MDS(HF)

 only) 

OR 

UNSCREW the front door and REMOVE the large 
black cap (

LDS

 only). 

8. 

ADD Minncare into the tank (typical 900ml). 

9. 

REPLACE the cap and hand-tighten. 

10.  PRESS the process button and allow to recirculate 

for a minimum of 45 minutes. 

11.  OPEN feed supply and allow tank to fill to >100 

liters. 

12.  OPEN point-of-use and drain to 40 liters. 

13.  CLOSE point-of-use and fill to >100 liters. 

14.  REPEAT steps 10 to 12 until the residual level of 

chemical remaining in the system is sufficiently low 
(typically <0.1ppm H

2

O
