IMPORTANT: INSTALLATION AND
SAFETY INFORMATION
Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the
softener properly may void the warranty.
Use care when handling the softener. Do not turn upside down, drop, or
set on sharp protrusions.
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 regulations and byelaws.
The installation must conform to them.
Do not locate the softener where freezing temperatures occur. Do not
attempt to treat water over 49ºC.
Freezing or hot water damage
will void your warranty.
Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause
distortion or other damage to non-metallic parts.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 4.76 bar.
If the daytime pressure exceeds 4.76 bar, a pressure reducing valve is
recommended (adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow).
The softener works on 24 volt 50 Hz electrical power only. Be sure
to use the supplied transformer and plug it into a normal 240V, 50Hz
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.
This softener is not intended to be used for treating water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
LEAD PIPEWORK
Where lead pipework exists downstream of the proposed location of the
water softener, we advise you ask the local water authority for advice
on the replacement of lead pipework.
European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and
electronic equipment to be disposed of according to Waste

of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by EcoWater Systems
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and
electronic equipment to be disposed of according to Waste
