HARDENER / PH NEUTRALIZER KIT
THOUGH-HULL FITTING (not supplied)
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The electrical installation should only be done by a professional electrician according to the local
regulations with regards to safety. Electrical installation materials are not supplied.
Connect the
+
wire of the magnetic clutch to the system switch on the control panel.
Supply 12V DC to the switch. This wire needs to be protected by a 10A fuse.
When the batteries minus are connected to the main engine, an additional
–
wire is not necessary.
The ECHOTec post treatment element contains a mixture
of minerals that returns bicarbonate alkalinity, correcting
pH only enough to reach a neutral equilibrium. This
dramatically reduces corrosion on metal tanks, boilers,
washing machines and plumbing due to acidic product
water.
Install the hardener / pH neutralizer housing at a
serviceable location in line with the product water tubing
from the diverter valve on the control panel to the
freshwater storage tank. (Refer to flow diagram on page 6)
Note:
Observe the flow direction indicated on the
housing.
REJECT WATER TUBING / HOSE (BRINE)
Connect the outlet of the pressure control valve on the
control panel with a reject thru-hull of your choice
(preferably above the water line as an indication for
proper operation of the system).
The boat’s designated intake thru
-hull should be located in
an area that will always be in the water when the boat is
used under normal running conditions.
A trough hull fitting with strainer scoop could be helpful.
Installed with the opening facing the bow, it typically
generates a small amount of pressure while moving
through the water. It is important not to place the thru-
hull fitting directly forward of a speedometer pickup. It is
also wise not to place the intake thru-hull slightly aft or
outboard of a holding tank, head or galley sink overboard
discharge.
