RESIN BED CLEANING
If the water supply contains ‘‘clear water ’’ iron (see
page 13), regular resin bed cleaning is needed to
keep the bed from coating with iron. Use resin bed
cleaner, available from EcoWater, following direc-
tions on the container. Clean the resin every 6
months, or more often if iron appears in your condi-
tioned water supply.
ADDING RESIN
Normally, the resin bed (FIG. 14) will last the lifetime
of the EcoWater System Unit. However, certain
conditions may require partial or total replacement of
the resin bed. Some of these conditions are:
(1) damaged top and/or bottom distributors have al-
lowed resin to escape
(2) resin bed iron fouled beyond use
(3) some water supplies cause resin degradation
