Can I stow Flow Pur softener on its side?
As title states, can I stow Flow Pur softener on its side. Been using it for several years and stow it upright or semi upright. Can I just lay the thing flat? Would solve some storage problems in the RV.

- Yes it had plugs for the in/out ends, but I prefer to have the resin stay in the tank rather then blow some out everytime I hooked it back up. Kinda hard to get the beads back into the tank.
- O-B Thanks for your information. Gary
- Per Flow Pur
The Mark 8000 also comes with nylon caps to prevent leakage during transport.
You can store it on its side without fear of getting water in your luggage compartment or basement.
Twice a year perform a back flush of the system. Back flushing is preformed by feeding water into the outlet port of the system allowing water to flow out of the inlet connection at a rate of one (1) gallon per minute. This reverse flow process mechanically cleans the resin beads. Back flush for 5 minutes
If unit is to be regenerated perform back flushing first. Old-Biscuit wrote:

Doesn't it have 'caps' for in/out to use when storing??
Is aruba5er talking about back flushing? I could be wrong but I did not see where flowpur talks about back flushing the 8000 unit. But I am new user with the flowpur 8000. This is my first winter with it. Any information I get on it is great. Garyaruba5er wrote:

- Yes..........just back flush it prior to placing in service to fluff resin beads up.
