Installation
8. INSTALL BRINE TANK OVERFLOW HOSE
a.
Connect a length of 1/2” I. D. hose to the brine
tank overflow elbow and secure in place with a hose
clamp.
b.
Run the hose to the floor drain, or other suitable
drain point
no higher than the drain fitting
on the
tank. If the tank overfills with water, the excess water
flows to the drain point.
9. On Two Tank models,
connect the brine tubing
to the nozzle and venturi housing.
10. ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE BRINE TANK
a.
Using a pail or garden hose, add about 3 gallons
of water into the brine tank. DO NOT pour into the
brinewell.
b.
Add salt to the brine tank. It is recommended to
fill the brine tank no more than 1/2 full. You can use
most water conditioner salts, but it must be clean.
Recommended nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts
have less than 1% impurities. Salt storage capacity
is shown on page 22.
NOTE
: See page 17 for additional information on
salt.
11. SANITIZING THE ECOWATER SYSTEMS
CONDITIONER
Care is taken at the factory to keep your EcoWater
System conditioner clean and sanitary. Materials
used to make the unit will not infect or contaminate
your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to
form or grow. However, during shipping, storage,
installing and operating, bacteria could get into the
unit. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is sug-
gested
¡
when installing.
...Remove the brinewell cover and pour about 1--1/2
oz. (2 to 3 tablespoons) of common household
bleach into the softener brinewell. Clorox, Linco, Bo-
Peep, White Sail, Eagle, etc. are brand names of
bleach readily available.
Replace the brinewell
cover.
...The final step in the sanitizing procedure is done
as you complete the following steps, including con-
troller programming on page 9.
¡
Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On some water sup-
plies, the EcoWater System Unit may need periodic disinfecting.
12. CONNECT TRANSFORMER
a.
Plug the transformer into a continuously ‘‘live’’,
grounded, 120V--60Hz house electrical outlet, in a
dry location and approved by local codes.
THE UNIT
WORKS ON 24V ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT
WITHOUT THE TRANSFORMER.
13. START A RECHARGE
Press the RECHARGE keypad, move cursor to Set
Recharge Now and press SELECT/EXIT (
↵
) key-
pad, starting a recharge. This recharge draws the
sanitizing bleach into and through the EcoWater
Systems conditioner. Any air remaining in the unit is
purged to the drain.
COMPLETE THE PROGRAMMING STEPS ON
PAGES 9 AND 10.
