SANITIZING

Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of fresh water.
Depending on use and the environment the system is subject to, sanitizing is recommended prior to
storing ad before using the water system after a period of storage. Systems with new components,
or ones that have been subjected to contamination, should also be disinfected as follows:
1. Use one of the following methods to determine the amount of common household bleach
needed to sanitize the tank.
a. Gallons: water tank capacity x .13 = Amount of bleach needed
b. Liters: Water tank capacity x 1.0 = Amount of bleach needed
2. Dilute the calculated amount of bleach with some water in a separate container.
3. Pour the mixture from the container (water/bleach) into the tank and fill the tank with
potable water.
4. Open all faucets (HOT & COLD) allowing the water to run until the distinct odor of chlorine
is detected.
WARNING!
Before servicing pump, turn off pump and drain water from system!!!

WINTERIZING

If water is left to freeze in the system, serious damage to the plumbing and the pump may
occur. Failures of this type will void the warranty. The best guarantee against damage is to
completely drain the water system.
NOTE: When used per the manufacturer's recommendations non-toxic antifreeze for
potable water is safe for use with ECCOFLO pups. Refer to the manufacturer for their
specific winterizing & drainage instructions.
To properly drain the system perform the following steps:
• Drain the water tank, if the tank doesn't have a drain valve, open all faucets allowing the
pumps to operate (15 min, ON/15 min. OFF) until the tank is empty.
• Open all the faucets (including the lowest valve or drain in the plumbing) and allow the
pump to purge the water from the plumbing, then turn the pump OFF.
• Using a pan to catch the remaining water, remove the plumbing at the pump's inlet/
outlet ports. Turn the pump ON, allowing it to operate until the water is expelled. Turn
OFF power to the pump once the plumbing is emptied. Do not reconnect pump plumbing.
Make a note at tank filler as a reminder. "Plumbing is Disconnected".
• ALL faucets must be left open to guard against any damage.
CAUTION
Do not use automotive antifreeze to winterize portable water systems. Such solutions are
highly toxic and ingestion may cause serious injury or death.
