Storage Procedure:

•Step 1: Flush the system twice. Press the “Auto Flush” button on the LCD display, once the first flush has been completed, press “Stop” to cancel the 5 day interval timer, then press “Auto Flush” again.

•Step 2: Remove the quick disconnect fitting from the brine discharge outlet of the Clark pump, and replace with the quick disconnect hose from your service kit, and lead the hose to a 5 gallon bucket.

•Step 3: Set the Manual Operation switch on the Feed pump module to “Service” to fill the bucket with 1 gallon of fresh unchlorinated water. Set the switch back to “Run Auto” when the bucket has reached the desired level.

•Step 4: Connect the hose, using the garden hose barb fitting from your service kit, to the service port of the boost pump module. Lead the hose into the bucket. Turn the service valve on the boost pump module 180°, so the intake is now coming from the bucket.

•Step 5: Mix the storage chemical compound into the water in the bucket.

•Step 6: Make sure the pressure relief valve on the Clark pump is Open (unpressurized).

•Step 7: Use the “Service” switch on the MPC control box to turn on the feed pump. Circulate the storage chemical in the system for approximately 10 minutes. Turn off the 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 to, 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.

•Turn off the power to the system.

•LEAVE THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OPEN
