Ventura MPC Storage Procedure

1.Shut the service valve by moving it to the middle position.

2.Perform two fresh water flushes by pushing the “Auto Store” button .

3.Remove the cap on the service port on the feed pump module and install the service hose from your kit. Remove the quick disconnect fitting from the brine discharge outlet of the Clark Pump, and replace with a quick disconnect service hose from your service kit. 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.
