E-Treat System Benefits

•  Reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor
•  Chemical-free scale prevention and protection – converts 

hardness minerals to harmless, inactive microscopic  

crystals making E-Treat systems an effective salt-free  

alternative to ion exchange water softeners

•  Virtually maintenance free – No salt bags or other chemicals 

to constantly add or maintain

•  No control valve, no electricity and no wastewater
•  Improves efficiency of all water heating devices and downstream 

plumbing components

•  Simple installation – standard 1" connections 
•  Excellent system for homes where equipment protection is  

desired for longer equipment life and reduced energy  

consumption

•  E-Treat's dual media systems are easily maintained

Equipment Specifications

Watts E-Treat systems are complete, self-contained,  

loaded with media and ready to use. A simple inlet and outlet 

connection is all that is required for installation. Please review  

operating pressures, temperatures and water chemistry  

limitations to ensure compatibility and performance.

Using E-Treat Systems with Other Water  

Treatment Equipment

There are some unique requirements for using E-Treat  

systems in conjunction with other forms of water treatment.
1.  The E-Treat system must be the last stage in the treatment 

chain. Do not install any filters after the E-Treat system or  

before any devices for which scale prevention is required. 

2.  Do not apply any other antiscalants before or after E-Treat.

Setup

Unpack and check the system components for damage or  

missing parts.

Installation Considerations

Consider the following points when determining where to install 

the system:
•  Do not install the system where it would block access to  

the water heater, main water shutoff, water meter, or  

electrical panels.

•  Install the system in a place where water damage is least likely 

to occur if a leak develops.

Introduction

The E-Treat system is an economical physical water treatment 

technology that helps protect pipes, extend the life of appliance, 

and provide better tasting water through filtration and condi-

tioning. The E-Treat system is a dual compartment tank based 

system with 2 cubic feet of high capacity activated carbon which 

reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor, and integrated One-

Flow

®

 scale prevention media.

The E-Treat system contains our highly effective OneFlow

®

 me-

dia, which uses template assisted crystallization (TAC) to attract 

dissolved  hardness minerals and convert them into harmless, 

inactive microscopic crystal particles.
These crystals stay suspended in the water and are passed to 

drain. The system requires very little maintenance, no backwash-

ing, no salt and no electricity. Typical hardness problems, espe-

cially build-up of scale in heating elements, pipes, water heaters, 

boilers and on fixtures, are reduced.
The E-Treat system is not a water softener. It does not add 

chemicals to the water or to the environment. It is a scale pre-

vention device with proven third party laboratory test data and 

years of successful commercial, residential and food service ap-

plications. The E-Treat system is the intelligent scale solution and 

is a great salt-free alternative to water softening (ion exchange) or 

scale sequestering devices.
