WINTER MAINTENANCE
Shutting down for Winter
If you live in an area, or have installed the K1 Micro Bead Filter in a position that will
experience sub zero temperatures, you may decide to shut your filter down for the Winter.
Here is a guide on how to do this:
1. Perform a thorough rinse and backwash of the filter, then move the MPV to the
“CLOSE” position.
2. Close any in-line valves before and after the K1 Micro Bead Filter.
3. Open the air pressure release valve at the top of the unit.
4. Open the drain plug at the base of the unit. Water will drain from the vessel.
5. Loosen all connections and drain water from valves, pipes, pumps and UVs.
Ensure that no water is trapped. Remember water can expand by 10% when it is ice and
can cause permanent damage.
Starting up for Spring
1. Add PURE
POND balls to the K1 Micro Bead Filter.
2. Tighten up all connections that were undone over Winter, including the drain plug.
3. Tighten the air pressure release valve.
4. Move the multi-port valve to the FILTER position and switch pump on. Check for leaks.
Your K1 Micro Bead Filter is fully operational.
5. The K1 Micro Bead Filter Media will mature quickly. Monitor water readings for the first
2 weeks.
