6. Seasonal Use Maintenance Requirements
If your system is only being used seasonally, it must be stored properly for the winter. Shut off the inlet and outlet water valves and drain all
water from the system. Cap both the inlet port and the outlet port, to prevent entry of insects and small animals.
Remove the filters from the system and discard them in the trash.
Before placing the system back in service, it is recommended that the household plumbing procedures described in section 5 be followed.
Install new filters in the system. Do not re-install filters used during the previous season.

7. Troubleshooting Guide
* Water Hammer: Sudden closure of a control valve or stopping of a pump produces excess pressure in a pipeline. The hydraulic engineer, water supply designer and pumping
system operator have the responsibility to ensure the surges due to Water Hammer are within acceptable limits and can be dampened as quickly as possible.
