NOTE
All piping, valving, etc, cleaned with P-D-680 drycleaning solvent must be thoroughly rinsed with water to
remove any solvent residue from these parts. Flush all the piping valving, etc by operating the unit and
allowing the effluent filtered water to go to waste for approximately 10 minutes whenever unit is returned
from maintenance. This will remove residual solvent in the system that may result in the production of a
non-palatable or non-potable water.
