•  Use only lead-free solder and flux for sweat-solder connections, 

as required by state, province and federal codes.

•  Handle all components of the system with care. Do not drop, 

drag or turn components upside down.

•  Be sure the floor under the system is clean, level and strong 

enough to support the E-Treat system while in operation.

• Install the system in a protected area.
•  Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F (38°C) with the system.
•  Always connect the system to the main water supply pipe before 

the water heater.

•  Do not expose the system to freezing temperatures. Water  

freezing in the system causes equipment damage.

•  Do not install in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays from the sun  

may cause damage.

unknown quality.
