EcoTAC Salt-Free Hard Water Conditioner Installation Manual - Operating Conditions

OPERATING CONDITIONS
The following chart provides guidance on the conditions required for successful operation of your
EcoTAC™ system. Use of this equipment outside of these operating conditions may adversely
affect the performance of your system, damage the TAC media, result in system damage including
water leaks and resulting property damage, and may void your warranty.
It is very important to note that the presence of elevated levels of chlorine, iron, manganese,
hydrogen sulfide, copper, and certain other contaminants can damage the TAC media, reducing its
effectiveness and shortening its life. Chlorinated city water should be filtered through activated
carbon to reduce free chlorine prior to TAC treatment. Water exceeding any of the following
levels should be pre-treated to reduce contaminant levels below the stated level:
pH Range: 6.5 to 8.5
Chlorine: max. 3 ppm
Hydrogen peroxide: max. 0.5 ppm
Iron: max. 0.3 ppm
Manganese: max. 0.05 ppm
Copper: max. 1.3 ppm
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Polyphosphates, and Oils: must be removed
Maximum Water Temperature: 43C (110F)
Do not allow TAC media or water to freeze*
Pressure Recommended: 15 to 80 psi**

If your water hardness is greater than 25 grains per gallon or 425 ppm (mg/l), please call for
sizing recommendation.
* the unit cannot be subjected to freezing conditions or water leaks and severe damage to the system and/or your
property could occur.
** if your home water pressure is greater than 80 PSI, you should have a pressure reduction valve installed by a
certified plumber prior to installing this product.
