Prior to making any external plumbing or electrical connections, the Skid should be placed on a level,
stable foundation. Verify with EcoWater CHC that your foundation is adequate for installation.
The electrical service should be installed according to applicable local and state regulations. A main
power disconnect was supplied with the Skid and should be utilized to disconnect power as required for
service.
Be certain to connect all safety ground (GREEN) wires to the common grounding lug inside the box on
the back panel.
Plumbing connections should be made in accordance with supplied installation drawings. External
plumbing should be mounted in such a manner to adequately support the pipe and the extra weight of the
water that will be flowing through the pipe during operation. All plumbing should be insulated and/or
heat traced as required by your environmental conditions throughout the year.
EcoWater CHC recommends the use of Schedule 80 PVC or metal, and does not recommend the use of
Schedule 40 PVC. If the customer has specified the use of piping other than Schedule 80 PVC, this will
be noted in the installation drawings.
EcoWater CHC recommends all hardware used for the connection and support of the piping be galvanized
carbon steel or stainless steel.
Spacing around skids should address required access of the electrical control panels, basket strainers and
any other maintenance needs during operation.
Once the piping is complete, the piping should be verified for leaks, make sure that all leaks are corrected
and the valves are left in the open position for use in commissioning of the equipment.
