SELECT INSTALLATION LOCATION
Consider all of the following when selecting an
installation location for the EcoWater conditioner.
S
To condition all water in the home, install the Eco-
Water conditioner close to the water supply inlet,
and before all other plumbing connections,
ex-
cept
outside water pipes. Outside faucets should
remain on hard water to avoid wasting condi-
tioned water and salt.
S
A nearby drain is needed to carry away regenera-
tion discharge water. A floor drain is preferred,
with a laundry tub, sump, standpipe, etc., as other
options (check your local codes).
S
The EcoWater conditioner works on 24 volts
only
. A transformer is included to reduce 120--60
Hz house power. Provide an approved, grounded
outlet within 10’of the conditioner. The condition-
er includes a 10’power cable for connection be-
tween the transformer and the timer.
S
Position the EcoWater conditioner at least 6”from
surrounding walls, or other appliances, to allow
access for adding salt and servicing.
S
Locate the EcoWater conditioner, in the plumbing
system,
after
all other installed water condition-
ing equipment, except for a taste and odor filter.
A taste and odor filter is installed after all equip-
ment.
Always install the EcoWater conditioner
BEFORE the water heater.
See the Safety
Guides on page 2. To reduce the risk of hot water
back-up, conditioned water piping between the
EcoWater conditioner and water heater should
be as long as possible.
S
Install the EcoWater conditioner in a place water
damage is least likely to occur if it develops a
leak.
S
If installing the conditioner in an outside location,
be sure to provide protection from the elements,
contamination, vandalism, and sunlight heat.
The sun’s heat can melt plastic parts.
