PROCEDURES AT THE END OF THE SEASON (CLOSING)
1.
Disconnect the quick union at the inlet of the feed pump.
2.
Drain the feed pump by removing the stainless steel cap.
3.
Open the ¼" valve at the base of the turbine.
4.
Fully open the pressure and concentration control valves.
5.
Put the 2 3-way valves at 45 degrees to drain the entire system.
6.
Disconnect the hoses that are connected to the post.
7.
Open the drain at the base of the post.
8.
Pull out the membrane, remove the plate, cap and rubber "U-cup".
9.
Verify that there are no openings for rodents. It is common for rodents to nest in a machine and block the
inlet of the feed pump.
Important
: If water freezes inside the osmosis, serious damage can occur. ALWAYS keep your concentrator in
a heated room, during and out of season. It is very difficult to be certain that all water is drained from the
osmosis. If water freezes inside the turbine or the membrane, the warranty will be voided. NEVER leave the
membrane in the post with soap or preservative. The chemicals that compose them will attack the "O-rings"
and the plastic.
STORING THE MEMBRANE
Note:
In order to facilitate the handling of the membrane, it is recommended to lay the post on its
side. As shown in picture D.
1.
Place the membrane inside the storage box, in a solution of permeate and sodium meta-bisulphite,
or contact your representative to have the membrane washed at CDL.
2.
Do not let the membrane freeze or dry out.
3.
Store the membrane in a cool place.
Do not leave the cap nor the U-cups at the end of the membrane. The storage solution will attack
the rubber.
Note: Next season, do not wait till the last minute to check the operation of your device. This will
save you a lot of worries.
