GreenWave Water Conditioning System
Iron and Manganese
Just as with conventional water softening media, the GreenWave water
conditioning media needs to be protected from excess levels of certain metals
that can easily coat the active surface, reducing its effectiveness over time.
Public water supplies rarely, present a problem, but if the water supply is from a
private well confirm that the levels of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are 0.0 mg/
L respectively. Copper should be less than 1.3 mg/L.
Copper
Copper usually originates from new copper plumbing upstream of the
GreenWave system. If this condition exists, we recommend waiting 3-4 weeks
before placing the system in operation. This will allow the copper surfaces to
be fully flushed and develop a natural protective surface. To further minimize
any problem with excess copper the installers should be advised to avoid
applying excess flux on the inner surfaces of the pipe and to use a low-
corrosivity water soluble flux listed under the ASTM 8813 standard. Once the
plumbing connections are complete, place the GreenWave system in bypass
prior to following the startup procedure and flush the plumbing for at least 10
minutes.
Cautions!
Do not let the system freeze. Damage to the tank and pre-filter may result.
The system must be operated in a vertical position. Do not lay it down during operation. The
system may be placed in any position for shipping and installation but must be operated in the
vertical position.
Place the system on a smooth, level surface.
The included bypass valve should be installed on every system to facilitate installation and
service.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes when installing the system.
