SAFETY GUIDES
Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the EcoWater softener properly
voids
the warranty.
Before you begin installation, read this entire manual. Then, obtain all the materials and tools you will
need to make the installation.
Check local plumbing and electrical codes.
The installation must conform to them.
Use only lead--free solder and flux
for all sweat--solder connections, as required by state and feder-
al codes.
Use care when handling the EcoWater softener. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp pro-
trusions.
Do not locate the EcoWater softener where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water
over 120
°
F.
Freezing, or hot water damage voids the warranty.
Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non--
metallic parts.
The EcoWater softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet.
Maximum
allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi.
If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure
may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary. (Adding a pressure reducing
valve may reduce the flow.)
The EcoWater softener works on 24 volt--60 hz electrical power only.
Be sure to use the included
transformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is grounded and properly
protected by an over current device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer is replaced, use
only the authorized service, Class II, 24 volt, 10 VA transformer.
This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed
of according to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive
or similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your
state and local laws for proper disposal of this equipment.
