SAFETY GUIDES
Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the EcoWater Systems conditioner properly
voids the warranty.
Before you begin installation, read this entire manual. Then, obtain all the materials and tools you will need
to make the installation.
Check local plumbing and electrical codes.
The installation must conform to them.
Use only lead--free solder and flux
for all sweat--solder connections, as required by state and federal codes.
Use care when handling the EcoWater Systems conditioner. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp
protrusions.
Do not locate the EcoWater Systems conditioner where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat
water over 120
°
F.
Freezing, or hot water damage voids the warranty.
Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non--metallic
parts.
The EcoWater Systems conditioner requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet.
Maxi-
mum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi.
If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may
exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary. (Adding a pressure reducing valve may
reduce the flow.)
The EcoWater Systems conditioner works on 24 volt--60 hz electrical power only.
Be sure to use the
included transformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is in a
dry location only
,
grounded and properly protected by an over current device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer
is replaced, use only the authorized service, Class II, 24 volt, 10 VA transformer.
