A note to the homeowner
Your GreenWave system will improve the properties of water throughout your home. Here are some
things to expect and some recommendations for maximizing the benefits and your enjoyment of your
GreenWave system.
Sinks and fixtures - should have little or no spotting.
If water is allowed to evaporate
off a surface, small spots may be left behind. This spotting should not require any more than
a wet cloth or sponge to remove. No harsh chemical should be required as with typical hard
water spotting.
Dishwasher-Spotting on dishes and on the surface of the dishwasher should be greatly
reduced or eliminated.
Dishwashing detergents low in phosphates are highly
recommended as they are better for the environment and phosphates can cause spotting. In
very hard water areas, the use of a rinse aid may be advised.
Shower doors and tiles- should have little or no spotting.
When water evaporates off a
surface, small spots may be left behind. These spots should be easy to remove with a damp
cloth or sponge.
In the bath
you should notice that soaps and shampoos lather more than with untreated
water. Soaps and shampoos will also rinse off much easier and faster than they would with
traditional soft water. We recommend the use of modern soaps for the best results.
Things to watch for:
During the first 30-90 days:
Faucet aerators and drains may plug occasionally as old scale is removed from your plumbing
system and water heater.
You may also see milky water while the descaling is taking place. This is simply an increase in the
calcium in the water because GreenWave is removing old scale deposits from your pipes.
Good practices:
If your dishwasher is severely coated with scale at the time of installation, we recommend that you
purchase a product like Jet-Dry Dishwasher cleaner to accelerate the cleaning. After this initial cleaning
GreenWave should keep it clean.
We also recommend that you drain your water heater tank. This should be done 30 to 60 days after
GreenWave is installed, and again in one year. This is a good practice that can dramatically increase the
life of your water heating appliance. The GreenWave will help keep the tank and heating elements free
of scale and operating at peak efficiency. Please follow the manufacturers instructions.
