After my last trip, about a month ago, I did a full regeneration, INCLUDING a 1/4 cup of bleach sterilization. Poured down the hose.
Following the instructions three weeks later, I did the whole process AGAIN. I'm not sure if it's really necessary, but as I drained the unit, preparing for long term storage, I thought it best to stick to the instructions.
When I first backwashed the unit, BROWNISH water came out for a couple of seconds! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! What was that?
The instructions say to first backwash, then slow wash the right way with bleach water, then do a full regeneration, which I did both times. How did I get brownish water in the unit?
I followed the instructions religiously! Is this normal?
