1. Drain and flush entire brake system at least once a year and fill with new fluid.

2. Send BTV every 3 to 5 years to a "qualified" rebuilder for a complete rebuild.

Oh, come on now Keith - I really have to disagree strongly on this, just from my experience and those of perhaps a dozen other BTV drivers in my area. We never "drain and flush", though every 5 or so years we do a thorough bleeding such that probably 80% of the fluid is replaced. Having the BTV rebuilt seems to be a one-time event, mine is now going on 20 years since it was rebuilt, ditto for the other units in my area.
