    This is probably a stupid question but I built a coil denitrator a while back and I had to take it off my system for a while. Can it be reinstalled after sitting with no waterflow for a period of time?

    i would just make sure you flush it thoroughly. If you can take it apart to clean it that would be even better but so long as it is thoroughly rinsed out it should be ok.

    Run water through it and it will be fine. If you are nervice about it run vinegar thru it.
