Operation and Maintenance

Filtration
The supply water should be filtered to ensure proper long-term operation. Experience has shown that municipal water supplies typically contain unacceptable amounts of particles and debris. A 20-micron (or finer) filter is recommended. NOTE: This is in addition to the auxiliary 100-micron bfs filter pre-packed with the system.

Fill Time
The filling system should only be connected long enough for the cells to fill (usually 1 to 3 minutes). When the flow indicator stops spinning, or nearly stops, the cells are full and the quick-disconnect coupler should be disconnected. CAUTION: The plugs continue to drop a very small amount of water even when the floats are up and overfilling could result if the supply line is left connected. Automatic systems, wherein supply water is controlled by a timer, should be adjusted to fill for 1 minute.

Float Clearance
Adequate clearance (T1), is required for proper action.

Water Quality
Use only water that meets the requirements of the individual battery manufactures instructions.
