OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

Clean the reservoir periodically to maximize plant growth and to minimize system contamination. The steps that follow can be used to change nutrient solution

and to pump the reservoir for cleaning and typical maintenance.

Cleaning the filter is strongly recommended after cleaning the reservoir.

RESERVOIR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Turn off the nutrient pump and close the in-line

valve in the main supply line. Depending on

installation, knob may point up or down.

2. Connect a garden hose to the shutoff valve of

the filter. Place the end of the hose in a bucket

or run it to the desired location.

3. Open the shutoff valve on the filter and turn the

pump on to pump out the reservoir. Turn off the

pump once the reservoir is empty.

4. Clean the reservoir as needed and repeat

the steps to pump it out if needed. Close the

shutoff valve.

5. Remove the hose and clean the filter. See

previous page for procedure.

6. Refill the reservoir with nutrient solution.

7. Open the in-line valve and turn on the pump

to resume operation. Knob may point in

opposite direction depending on how valve was

installed.

8. Check all fittings and tubes.
