Requirements

NOTICE

CAUTION

!

•  Do not let the system freeze. Damage to the system  

may result.

•  System must be shipped and operated in an upright and 

vertical position. It must remain in an upright and vertical 

position during operation.

•  Place the system on a smooth, level surface. Because  

the inner OneFlow

®

 tank operates in an UP-Flow, fluidized 

bed mode, having a level surface is more important than 

with a softener or media filter.

•  A bypass valve should be installed on every system to  

facilitate installation and service.

•  Observe all local plumbing and building codes when  

installing the system.

•  All new copper pipe and fittings used in the installation  

of this system should be allowed to self passivate, under 

normal operation and water flow, for a period of 4 weeks 

minimum before placing the unit into service. 

•  If making a soldered copper installation, do all sweat  

soldering before connecting pipes to the bypass valve.  

Torch heat will damage plastic parts.

•  When turning threaded pipe fittings onto plastic fittings, use 

care not to cross-thread.

•  Use PTFE tape on all external pipe threads. Do not use pipe 

joint compound.

•  Support inlet and outlet plumbing in some manner (use pipe 

hangers) to keep the weight off of the bypass fittings.

•  Do not use on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of 

unknown quality.

Notes to the Installer

The E-Treat system differs from a conventional softener or 

media filter in a number of key respects.
• Must be installed in VERTICAL POSITION.
•  Please see the notes about “Feed Water Chemistry 

Requirements” section on page 3.

•  Please see the note about “Using E-Treat Systems with 

Other Water Treatment Equipment” on page 2.

• This system is designed for residential applications only.
Note: Plumbing tape and general plumbing tools required.

NOTICE

  *  Systems using OneFlow

®

 technology are effective at con-

trolling lime-scale formation inside the plumbing system at 

influent hardness levels up to 30 grains per gallon (513 ppm 

CaCO3) of calcium carbonate. Due to variances in water 

chemistry, 30 grains per gallon is a recommended hardness 

maximum due to potential aesthetic issues related to soft 

scale residue formation outside of the plumbing system. 

Testing should be performed to determine proper application 

where hardness levels exceed 30 grains per gallon.

  ** Just as with conventional water softening media, OneFlow

®

 

media needs to be protected from excess levels of certain 

metals that can easily coat the active surface, reducing its 

effectiveness over time. Public water supplies rarely, if ever, 

present a problem, but if the water supply is from a private 

well, confirm that the levels of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) 

are less than 0.3 ppm and 0.05 ppm, respectively.

*** Pursuant to the EPA drinking water standards, the cop-

per concentration permitted is up to 1.3 ppm. Typically 

originating from new copper plumbing, high levels of cop-

per can foul OneFlow

®

 media. New Copper lines need to 

be passivated for a minimum of 4 weeks before placing 

unit into service. For applications with copper concentra-

tion greater than 1.3 ppm, please consult Watts Water 

Quality Technical Service. To further minimize any problem 

with excess copper, avoid applying excessive flux on the 

inner surfaces of the pipe and use a low-corrosivity water 

soluble flux listed under the ASTM B813 standard.

 

NOTICE

 OneFlow

®

 media does not reduce silica scaling. While silica 

tends to have a less significant effect on scale formation than 

other minerals, it can act as a binder that makes water spots 

and scale residue outside the plumbing system difficult to 

remove. This 20 ppm limitation is for aesthetic purposes.

††

 All other contaminants must meet the requirements of the 

USEPA Safe Drinking Water Act. Specific Mineral and Metal 

MCL's, identified in Watts published Feed Water Chemistry 

Requirements, supersedes the USEPA SDWA.
Water known to have heavy loads of dirt and debris may 

require pre-filtration prior to the E-Treat System.
