Note To The Home Owner

Your E-Treat system will improve the properties of water through-

out your home. Here are some things to expect and some rec-

ommendations for maximizing the benefits and your enjoyment 

of E-Treat:

Sinks and fixtures –

 

should have reduced 

spotting. If water is 

allowed to evaporate off 

a surface, small spots 

may be left behind. 

Many times this residue 

is easier to clean up 

than the previous hard 

water spotting.

Dishwasher-Spot-

ting on dishes and 

on the surface of the 

dishwasher should 

be greatly reduced.

 

We recommend that 

you immediately 

reduce the amount of 

dishwashing detergent 

by approximately 50% 

as compared to hard 

water use. Dishwash-

ing detergents low in 

phosphates are highly recommended as they are better for the 

environment and phosphates can cause spotting. In very hard 

water areas, the use of a rinse aid 

may be advised.

Shower doors and tiles –

 should 

have reduced spotting. When water 

evaporates off a surface, small spots 

may be left behind. Depending on 

water chemistry, these spots may be 

easy to remove with a damp cloth or 

sponge.

In the bath

 you should 

notice that soaps and sham-

poos lather more than with 

untreated water. Soaps and 

shampoos will also rinse off 

much easier and faster than 

they would with traditional 

soft water. We recommend 

the use of modern soaps for 

the best results.

Things to watch for:

During the first 30-90 days:
•  Faucet aerators and drains may plug occasionally as old scale 

is removed from your plumbing system and water heater. 

•  You may also see milky water while the descaling is taking 

place. This is simply an increase in the calcium in the water 

because OneFlow

®

 media is removing old scale deposits from 

your pipes.

Good practices:

If your dishwasher is severely coated with scale at the time of 

installation, we recommend that you purchase a product like  

Jet-Dry

®

 Dishwasher cleaner to accelerate the cleaning. After this 

initial cleaning OneFlow

®

 media should keep it clean.

We also recommend that you drain your water heater tank. 

This should be done 30 to 60 days after your E-Treat System is 

installed, and again in one year. This is a good practice that can 

dramatically increase the life of your water heating appliance. 

The E-Treat System will help keep the tank and heating elements 

free of scale and operating at peak efficiency. Please follow the 

manufacturer's instructions when draining the tank!
