Rev.2014.8 

 

Congratulations on the purchase of your ECHOTec Watermaker. We trust that you will be 
completely  satisfied  with  our  product.  We  thoroughly  bench  test  every  desalination 
system  before  shipping  and  are  confident  that  we  have  manufactured  the  finest 
watermaker on the market. 

 

Your watermaker will provide you with clean and safe drinking water for many years to 

come  if  you  follow  the  simple  instructions  in  this  owners’  guide.

  The  purpose  of  this 

manual  is  to  allow  you  to  become  familiar  with each  component  of  your  new  ECHOTec 
Watermaker. 

 

By  understanding  the  function,  importance  and  normal  operation  of  each  part  in  the 
system,  the  operator  can  readily  diagnose  problems  when  they  first  develop.    Such 
problems are easily corrected and require minor adjustments.  If left unattended, a small 
problem  in  one  component  may  affect  the  rest  of  the  system  and  can  lead  to  an 
expensive repair. 

 

If  you  have  any  questions  regarding  the  installation,  operation  or  maintenance  of  your 
watermaker please contact us.  We are always happy to assist!
