taminated acid solutions in accordance with federal, state and/or
local regulations.
10.4
Return Air Filters
Check the return air filter about once a month and clean as necessary.
To clean the filter,
– remove it from the return-air grille,
– rinse with water,
– air dry and
– reinstall.
If your kit is supplied with a filtered return-air grille, the filter attached to
the unit's evaporator must be removed.
Two filters are not better than one, as the reduced air flow will decrease
performance and possibly freeze the evaporator coil.

Winterization
Note
I
Collect all discharged liquids and recycle or dispose of it a proper
manner.
Choose the method that works best for you. In the following four methods,
the first two use a 50/50 nonpolluting biodegradable antifreeze/water solu-
tion:
Pumping of anti-freeze solution into the overboard thru-hull fitting, and
discharging through the intake thru-hull fitting until all water is flushed out
and the solution no longer appears diluted.
Use of the seawater pump to pump anti-freeze solution through the
system and discharging through the overboard thru-hull fitting until all wa-
ter is flushed out and the solution no longer appears diluted:
– Close seacock.
– Remove hose from strainer discharge.
– Raise hose above pump (so pump does not lose its prime).
– Pour in antifreeze solution.
– Pump solution through system.
– Drain the strainer and hose to seacock of water.
