Lead the hoses to a 5 gallon bucket or container.

4.Push the “Auto Store” button and run the feed pump until you have one gallon of fresh water in the bucket. Stop the system.

5.Mix 1 container of SC-1 storage compound with the water in the bucket.

6.Make sure the pressure relief valve on the Clark pump is OPEN (un-pressurized) by turning 1/2 turn counterclockwise

7.Place the service valve in “Service” position

8.Turn on the feed pump. You can use the man-

ual switch on the MPC-5000 control box. Circu- late the storage chemical in the system for ap- proximately 10 minutes. Turn off the feed pump when finished.

Clean Up

Remove the quick disconnect from the Clark Pump brine discharge, and replace the original hose that leads to the thru-hull. You may at this point, if you choose, pump the bucket dry by using the feed pump switch. Stop when the bucket is empty.

Turn the service valve 180° back to its original position, and remove the service hose.

Close the seacock and drain and clean the strainer and any filters in the system. Reassemble dry.
