A word about glass shower doors…
Over a few weeks you may see the existing scale slowly dissolve in your shower heads
thereby increasing water flow. You may need to clean the inlet screen of your shower head
during the first few weeks as mentioned above to remove some of the scale that is being
removed from your pipes. We recommend that you first clean the shower from existing
scale with a cleaning product that dissolves old scale that has built up before installation of
the ecoTAC™ conditioner system. CLR or Lime Away are good cleaner choices for this
purpose. We then recommend that you coat the walls in the shower, and your glass shower
doors with Rain-X® (www.rainx.com), a commercial product used for automobile
windshields. The Rain-X® allows the majority of the nano particles to be easily washed to
drain. The few nano particles that are left can be easily wiped down because they can no
longer adhere to the sides of the shower.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
Reduced water pressure and/or flow rate
after initial installation.
Limit high flow rate demands during the first
few days of operation to allow time for the
media bed to condition and saturate with
water. If significant pressure loss is
experienced, turn off water, wait 10 minutes
and try again. Ensure flow rate demands do
not exceed capacity specifications.
Reduced water pressure and/or flow rate at
other times.
The sediment pre-filter may need to be
replaced. In most cases, it should be
replaced every 9 to 12 months. Ensure flow
rate demands do not exceed capacity
specifications.
Treated water is discolored. During the initial start-up and for roughly the
first week after installation, you may notice
small black specs or a grey/black
discoloration caused by carbon fines (dust).
This is normal and will go away on its own.
The carbon dust is not harmful. Air trapped
in your water lines after installation can
sometimes cause the water to appear milky.
