OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Optional Purge Pump
In addition to the standard water pump to recirculate water
from the reservoir, an optional purge pump can be installed to
evacuate the contents of the reservoir on a scheduled basis.
The cooler base has space and pre-located screw attach points
for purge pump bracket.
CAUTION: The MCP44-PPK purge pump kit is designed to be
used with the MCP series coolers. If a diff erent purge pump is
installed the warranty cooler will be voided.
The MCP44-PPK is available for purchase at local retailers, at
www. championcooler.com or by calling
1.800.643.8341.
When a purge pump has been installed, purge cycles can be
activated and programmed from the control panel (See below)
.
The use of the purge pump saves water and is actually more
economical, than continual bleed.
It helps reduce bacterial
growth and mineral buildup extending media life.
It also maintains
fresher air in the home.
Purge Pump Discharge: The water ejected at the time of
purging will be expelled at a high rate of speed, and must be
routed away from the foundation of the home or other areas
where rushing water could do damage.
1. Attach a standard water hose to the overfl ow drain to
direct the water away from the house.
NOTE: This water is not potable, but can be used for watering
vegetable or fl ower gardens.
Once a purge pump has been installed and plugged
into the cooler, the purging cycle can be programmed
from the control panel:
The default setting for the purge pump is 1 minute of
purge every 24 hours. This setting can be changed to
increase interval and duration of purges as needed.
In
order to enter the programming
mode of the control
panel hold down the PUMP touch
point for fi ve (5) seconds.
At this point the Purge Interval
can be set. Four lights on the left
side illuminate.
This indicates one
purge every 24 hours.
To change the number of hours
between purges, press PUMP
again until the desired schedule
is selected. The options for purge
interval are 24,12, 8 and 6 hours. The lights decrease
by one each time the Pump button is pressed. Note
the legend of intervals listed below.
NOTE: Depending on the amount of minerals in
the local water, it may be advantageous to in-
crease the purges to extend the life of the media
and the unit.
After the number of hours in the Purge Interval has
been set, you may select the duration of the purge.
Options are from 1 to 4 minutes that the water will be
expelled.
Press the FAN touch point
to enter the Purge Duration
setting feature.
The four lights on the left side
will begin blinking indicating 4
minutes of purging. Press the
PUMP touch point to change
the setting from 4 to 3 minutes,
then 2 or 1 minute duration.
To save and exit the Duration portion of the programming
,
press and hold the FAN touch point for 5 seconds.
NOTE: If no touch-point is pressed within 10 sec-
onds, the program will automatically exit the set up
mode and retain previous settings.
