UNPACKING
The softeners are shipped from the factory in one
master carton. The carton also includes a skin pack
of small parts needed to assemble and install the
unit, and this manual.
Thoroughly check the softener for possible shipping
damage and parts loss. Also inspect and note any
damage to the shipping carton. Notify the trans-
portation company if damage is present. EcoWater
is not responsible for in--transit damages.
Remove and discard (RECYCLE) all packing materi-
als. We suggest you keep the small parts on the skin
pack until you are ready to use them. Minimal as-
sembly is needed on all two tank models, see page
5.

SAFETY GUIDES
Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the softener properly voids the warranty.
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.
Use only lead--free solder and flux for all sweat-solder connections, as required by state and federal codes.
Use care when handling the softener. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp protrusions.
Do not locate the softener where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water over 120_F.
Freezing, or hot water damage voids the warranty.
Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non--metallic
parts.
The softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet. Maximum allowable 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 softener works on 24VAC volt--60 hz electrical power only. Be sure to use the included transformer
and plug it into a nominal 120VAC, 60 cycle household outlet that is grounded and properly protected by an
over current device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer is replaced, use only the authorized ser-
vice, 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.
