So you own a Water Filter….
Has anyone noticed the change in the weather lately? As the owner of a Water Filter it’s important that you take notice of the change in Temperature and prepare for the cold weather in advance. If you own a Water Softener I recommend that you stock up your basement with Softener Salt before the Snow flies. It can make for much easier work now than later.
Don’t worry though Water Treatment Equipment can be installed any time of year, as long as it isn’t exposed to Freezing temperatures. I have seen a few frozen systems. Once they thaw out the Tanks/Valves and piping will crack and become useless. Not a pretty site. Also, most Softener Resins should not be allowed to Freeze, even when dry.
Recently I was at a Home performing a site evaluation and I saw a drain line going out through a basement wall and draining onto the ground, under a deck. A great idea, until it freezes. This problem if left unattended will freeze up eventually, causing either a flooded basement, or a Filter System that can’t backwash and eventually malfunctions. Whether the drain line is running to sewer, septic, or a dry well the line needs to be designed properly to avoid freezing.
