E.A.S.E.:
EcoWater Systems digital demand controllers have the latest diagnostic technology. With E.A.S.E., or
Electronic Automated Service Evaluation, a service person or homeowner can transmit operational data through
the telephone, to a personal computer (PC). The PC processes the data to determine if all electrical functions are
working normally, or helps to identify a problem should one occur. Ask your participating EcoWater Systems dealer
for more information on this feature.
