use eco-friendly phosphate-free dishwashing detergents. Using an anti-spotting agent such as Jet-Dry®

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 previously to remove some of the scale that is being removed from your pipes. We
recommend that you first clean the shower of 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 Rainx, a commercial product used for automobile windshields. The Rainx
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.

Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure:
1.

outlet of the filter housing(s). Depress the pressure release button on the top of each filter
housing cap to allow any pressure inside the housing to escape. Using a regular slotted
screwdriver, remove the brass drain plug from the bottom of each white housing sump to drain
all of the water from the housings. Use a bucket to catch all of the water.
2.
Unscrew housing sump from the cap using the spanner wrench (included with original purchase
of your system).
3.
Take out the old filter cartridge and discard it.
4.
Scrub the bottom of the housing and cap with dish soap and warm water using a sponge or soft
cloth. Fill 1/3 with water and add about 2 tablespoons of household bleach. Scrub to disinfect
(we recommend that you use rubber gloves).
Rinse all parts thoroughly!
5.
Inspect large O-ring. The housing O-ring should be replaced at least once every 2 years or at
each filter change if any damage to the O-ring is noted (kinked, cracked, stretched, etc.), or if any
