WINTERIZING
• At the end of the season, once you disconect the lter system, remove the valve from the tank. The valve
selector handle should be positioned BETWEEN any of the notches to allow for air ventilation through the
valve to protect it from cracking.
• Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the sand tank to drain water out of the lter tank. Keep this plug off
for the winter to allow any potential water build-up to escape from the tank.
• Empty ALL sand from the lter system and dispose as it is recommended to replace the sand EACH season.
• Rinse out the inside of tank and air dry. You MAY remove the laterals from the standpipe and the standpipe
from the tank.
• Store the tank in an area where it will be protected from harsh elements and keep the valve and tank stored
APART to protect from condensation forming and causing cracks in the tank or valve.
• Run hose water through pump to rinse out and store in a warm, dry place for the winter.
