SAFETY GUIDES
Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the EcoWater softener properly voids the war-
ranty.
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. In Massachusetts,
plumbing codes of Massachusetts shall be adhered to. Consult with your licensed plumber.
Use only lead--free solder and flux for all sweat---solder connections, as required by state and federal
codes.
Use care when handling the EcoWater softener. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp protrusions.
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.
A void 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 allow-
able 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 trans-
former and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is grounded and properly protected by
an overcurrent 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 ac-
cording 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.
