TROUBLESHOOTING
WINTERIZING
• At the end of the season once you disconnect filter system, remove the valve from the tank. Valve
selector handle should be positioned BETWEEN any of the notches to allow for air ventilation
through the valve to protect from cracking.
• Remove drain plug from bottom of sand tank to drain water out of the filter 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 filter system and dispose of as it is recommended to replace sand
EACH season.
• Rinse out inside of tank and air dry
