1. UNPACKING

EcoWater Systems Central Water Filtration System is
shipped from the factory in one master carton.  The
carton also includes a bag of small parts needed to
assemble and install the unit, plus this manual.

Thoroughly check the Central Water Filtration System
for possible shipping damage and parts loss.  Also
inspect and note any damage to the shipping carton.
Notify the transportation company if damage is pres-
ent.  EcoWater Systems is not responsible for in-tran-
sit damages.

Remove and discard (RECYCLE) all packing materi-
als.  We suggest you keep the small parts in the
bag(s) until you are ready to use them.

2. INSTALL BYPASS VALVE

COP-

PER TUBES

NOTE:

Before installing the bypass valve or copper

tube into the valve’s OUTLET, make sure that the tur-
bine and support are firmly in place, as shown in
Figure 6.

ports (See Figure 4).  Carefully slide the bypass valve
into the filter valve and install the "C" clips.

b

. Slide a lubricated o-ring seal onto each of the cop-

per tubes.  Carefully insert the copper tubes into the

For lubrication, use silicone grease approved

for potable water supplies.
