Disinfection guide Disinfecting Disinfect the internal water circuit and hoses every 14 days Use the BruClean TbC disinfectant tablets by Brulin (EPA registration number 71847-2-106) before first use, at least every 14 days, and before storage. BruClean TbC has been validated for internal water circuit disinfection. Make sure that you follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid the risk of injury. Failure to follow the disinfectant’s instructions may void your warranty. • Always use sterile distilled water or water that has been passed through a filter less than or equal to 0.22 microns with this product. • Do not disinfect the internal water system with a thermal transfer device attached as this may cause a leak. Note: Disinfection • Do not use bleach or any other cleaning or disinfectant agents for internal circuits. This could result in damage to the product. Only of the Altrix use approved disinfectant tablets. internal water • Always drain the product before disinfecting the internal water system was circuit.

Draining the internal water circuit and hoses for disinfection 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 2. Place the controller over a floor drain. Note: For best results, the floor drain should be within reach of a wall outlet to power on the controller. 3. To drain the controller, pull up on the controller drain plug (A) to open the drain (Figure 24). Leave the drain open.

Draining the internal water circuit and hoses for disinfection (cont.) 4. Connect a hose to each port (Figure 25). 5. Close the connector ends of all three hoses: a. If you have Colder style connector hoses, attach the service tool adapter hose (8001-999-017) (Figure 26). Complete this for all three hoses. b. If you have Clik-Tite hoses, make sure that the connector ends are connected and closed (A), and clamps are open (B). Complete this for all three hoses (Figure 27).

6. To fully drain the hoses, raise all the hoses (Figure 28) above the connection ports on the controller. Note: For best performance, hang the hoses to keep them raised. Do not lower the hoses until you have completed the disinfection and rinsing process. 7. Allow the controller and hoses to drain for a minimum of two minutes. 8. Push down on the drain plug to close the drain.

Disinfecting the internal water circuit and hoses 1. Use personal protection equipment as recommended by the BruClean TbC disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for use. 2. Put 2 BruClean TbC tablets into the reservoir. 3. Using appropriate measuring equipment, fill the empty reservoir with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of sterile-distilled water. Note: Always allow the disinfectant tablets to completely dissolve before starting the 20 minute disinfection cycle. 4. Place the reservoir into the controller. 5. Disconnect the bottom hose from the bottom right port (Figure 29). 6. Connect the bottom hose end to the hydraulic connector in the lid of the reservoir (Figure 30). 7. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
