SECTION3 CARE OF YOUR FILTER
E. KEEP THE FILTER FROM FREEZING
If the filter is installed where it could freeze (sum-
mer cabin, lake home, etc.) you must drain all wa-
ter from it to stop possible damage caused by
freezing. To drain the filter-
Ii Close the shutoff valve on the house main wa-
ter pipe, near the water meter or pressure
tank.
2. Open a faucet in the filtered water pipes to
vent pressure in the filter.
3. Looking at Figure 13 on page 4-1, move the
stem in a single bypass valve to bypass. Close
the inlet and outlet valves in a three valve by-
pass system, and open the bypass valve.
4. Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet.
5. Pull the holding clip to remove the drain fit-
ting, with drain hose attached, from the valve.

DO NOT LOSE THE BLACK RUBBER FLOW
PLUG AND RETAINER.
Looking at page 11 in the installation manual,
remove the plastic clips and pull the adaptors
or bypass valve from the inlet and outlet.
Move the filter close to the floor drain. SLOW-
LY and CAREFULLY (the filter is heavy) tip
the filter over so the valve inlet and outlet are
over the drain. DO NOT REST THE FILTER
ON THE INLET AND OUTLET FITTINGS
OR THEY WILL BREAK.
Tip the bottom of the filter up a few inches
and hold until all water has drained. Leave
the filter laying like this until you are ready to
use it. Plug the inlet and outlet with rags to
keep dirt, bugs, etc. out.
