1. An extracorporeal therapy system comprising:
a dialysis fluid circuit including a dialysis fluid preparation structure configured to prepare a dialysis fluid for an extracorporeal therapy treatment, the dialysis fluid circuit including a pump, at least one filter for purifying the dialysis fluid, and at least one component located upstream of the at least one filter;
a blood circuit including a blood filter for use during the extracorporeal therapy treatment;
a source of disinfecting fluid; and
a control unit operable with the dialysis fluid circuit and the dialysis fluid preparation structure, the control unit programmed to cause the pump of the dialysis fluid circuit to pump:
