Closing your cottage for the season? Don’t forget to winterize your water treatment equipment.
When it comes time to close your cottage for the season the checklist of items to winterize can be long, but it is important to make sure your water treatment equipment is on the list.
Water Softeners need to be disconnected and the brine tank drained. To do this you can force the unit to start a regeneration cycle, then shut off your water before the final brine tank refill cycle.
The storage tank of your Reverse Osmosis system is used to hold purified water. This water should not sit stagnant over the winter months. Draining the storage tank is a vital step in ensuring you will have clean, clear drinking water when you re-open in the spring. This is also a great time to check the dates on your filters and make sure you are prepared to change them when the time comes.
From time-to-time your Ultraviolet systems bulb will need to be replaced. Cottage closing is a great time to check the date on your bulb and prepare to change it when necessary.
Sediment filters need to be cleaned or replaced, and the end of the season is the right time to inspect these and clean them out.
