SAFETY GUIDES
Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to
install the EcoWater Systems conditioner 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 EcoWater Systems condi-
tioner. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp
protrusions.
Do not locate the EcoWater Systems conditioner 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 EcoWater Systems conditioner 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 neces-
sary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the
flow).
The EcoWater Systems conditioner works on 24 volt, 60
Hz electrical power only. Be sure to use the included
transformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 Hz
household outlet that is in a dry location only, ground-
ed and properly protected by an over current device such
as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer is replaced,
use only the authorized service, Class II, 24V, 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.
If conditioner is being used to reduce barium and/or radi-
um 226 and 228, please verify performance by contact-
ing 612-607-1700, ext. 6470 for testing treated water
supply or check the water testing section of your local
phone directory.
