Installation Instructions
TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY
1
. Close the main water supply valve, located near the
well pump or water meter.
2
. Shut off the electric or fuel supply to the water
heater.
3
. Open all faucets to drain all water from house pipes.
NOTE:
Be sure not to drain water from the water
heater, as damage to the water heater ele-
ments could result.
ASSEMBLY
1
. EcoPure models are factory assembled. During
installation, unsnap and remove the top cover,
together with the salt lid, to expose the water treat-
ment system valve assembly. Set them aside to
prevent damage. Check the brinewell to be sure it
is secured and vertical (See Figure 13).
2
. Lift the brine valve out of the brinewell. Make sure
the float stem is parallel to the stand tube so the
seals will seat properly during operation. Place the
brine valve back into the bottom of the brinewell and
reinstall the brinewell cover.
3
. Install the brine tank overflow grommet and elbow
into the 2 cm diameter hole in the back of the salt
storage tank wall.
MOVE THE SYSTEM INTO PLACE
1
. Move the water treatment system into the desired
location. Set it on a solid, level surface.
IMPORTANT:
Do not place shims directly under the
salt storage tank to level the system.
The weight of the tank, when full of
water and salt, may cause the tank to
fracture at the shim.
2
. Visually check and remove any debris from the
water treatment system valve inlet and outlet ports.
3
. Make sure the turbine assembly spins freely in the
"out" port of the valve (See Figure 10).
4
. If not already done, put a light coating of silicone
grease on the single bypass valve o-rings.
5
. Push the single bypass valve into the system valve
as far as it will go. Snap the two large holding clips
into place, from the top down as shown in Figures
11 & 12.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the clips snap firmly into place
so the single bypass valve will not pull
out.
