INLET / OUTLET PLUMBING OPTIONS

ALWAYS INSTALL either an EcoWater Systems bypass

valve #7214383, or a 3-valve bypass system. Bypass

valves allow you to turn off water to the conditioner/

refiner for repairs if needed, but still have water in

house pipes.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

If installing in an outside location, you must take the

steps necessary to assure the conditioner/refiner,

installation plumbing, wiring, etc., are as well protect-

ed from the elements, contamination, vandalism,

etc., as when installed indoors.

A 120V, 60 Hz, grounded, continuously “live” electrical

outlet is needed, in a dry location near the EcoWater

Systems conditioner/refiner.

System

A drain is needed for recharge discharge water. A floor

drain is preferred, close to the EcoWater Systems con-

options (See Figure 3B).
