The EcoPure Automatic Sediment Filter is designed to
be plumbed into a home’s incoming water supply pipe,
where it will capture particles of sediment from the
water and periodically flush them down the drain.
The unit has an electronic control that counts down the
days until the next automatic flush of collected sedi-
ment particles. The number of days is programmable.
The electronic controller runs on a 9 volt battery. The
controller will indicate when the battery needs to be
replaced. An optional AC power adaptor (P/N
7302835) may also be purchased to eliminate the
need for batteries.
Three sizes of filter mesh are available. A 60 micron fil-
ter is included with the ASF unit, and optional 100 or
150 micron filters can also be purchased (see spare
parts list at the end of this manual).
NOTE:
This product is designed to reduce sand,
grit, debris, pipe scale and other loose matter. On
water supplies that contain sticky sediment includ-
ing mud, silt and clay, you may have to remove
the sump and clean the screen periodically.
