Thoroughly check the water softener for possible shipping damage and parts loss. Also inspect and note any damage to the shipping carton. Remove and discard (or recycle) all packing materials. To avoid loss of small parts, we suggest you keep the small parts in the parts bag until you are ready to use them. SAFETY GUIDES Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the water softener properly voids the warranty. 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 codes. The installation must conform to them. Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat -sol- der connections as required by state and federal codes. Use care when handling the water softener. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp protrusions. Do not locate the water softener where freezing tem- peratures occur. Do not attempt to treat water over 120°F. Freezing, or hot water damage voids the war- ranty. Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non-metallic parts. The water softener requires a minimum water flow of. 3 gallons per minute at the inlet. Recommended maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary. Be sure the addition of a pressure reducing valve will not reduce the flow to less than the 3 gallons per minute. Thevater softener works on 24V DC electrical power, supplied by a direct plug-in power supply (included). Be sure to use the included power supply, and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 Hz household outlet that is in a dry location only, grounded and properly protected by an overcurrent device such as circuit breaker or fuse. This system 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. .� European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all �16 electrical and electronic equipment to be a #F disposed of according to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) require- ments. This directive or similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for proper disposal of this equipment.

This warranty applies to consumer -owned installations only. 3 These models are efficiency rated. The efficiency rating is valid only at the minimum salt dose and the service flow rate. The softeners have a demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R) feature that complies with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation. These softeners have a rated softener efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than their listed rating or be operated at a sus- tained maximum service flow rate greater than their listed rating. These softeners have been proven to deliver soft water for at least ten continuous minutes at the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency is measured by lab- oratory tests described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the rated efficiency, due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce a softener's capacity.

Outside faucets should remain on hard water to conserve salt and softening capacity. • Place the softener near a floor drain, or other acceptable drain point (laundry tub, sump, stand- pipe, etc.) to carry away regeneration discharge water. • Connect the softener to the main water supply pipe UPSTREAM OF the water heater. DO NOT RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE SOFTENER. The temperature of water passing through the sof- tener must be less than 120°F. • Do not install the softener in a place where it could freeze. Damage caused by freezing is not cov- ered by the warranty. • Put the softener in a place water damage is least likely to occur if a leak develops. The manufactur- er will not repair or pay for water damage. • A 120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet, to plug the included power supply into, is needed near the softener. Be sure the electrical outlet and power supply are in an inside location, to protect from wet weather. • If installing in an outside location, you must take the steps necessary to assure the softener, instal- lation plumbing, wiring, etc., are as well protected from the elements, contamination, vandalism, etc., as when installed indoors. • Keep the softener out of direct sunlight. The sun's heat may soften and distort plastic parts. TOOLS, PIPE & FITTINGS, OTHER MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED • ALWAYS install an EcoWater Systems bypass valve, ora 3 -valve bypass system. Bypass valves let you turn off water to the softener for repairs if needed, but still have water available to the house pipes. • Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the ` softener, which allow water flow equivalent to 1 inch nominal pipe. To maintain maximum valve flow, 1" pipes to and from the softener fittings are recommend- ed. Do not reduce the pipes to less than 3/4" size. • Use copper, brass or PEX plastic pipe and fittings. • Drain hose, 1/2" inside diameter minimum, is needed for the valve drain. • If a rigid valve drain is needed, to comply with plumbing codes, you can buy the parts needed to connect a 1/2" minimum copper tubing drain. NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248 -CMR shall be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation.

PRESSURE TESTING FOR LEAKS, PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER & RINSING THE MEDIA To prevent excessive air pressure in the water softener and plumbing system, do the following steps EXACTLY in order: a. Fully open two or more softened cold water faucets nearby the water softener. b. Place the bypass valve(s) in bypass position (See Figures 2 & 4). c. Fully open the main water supply valve. Watch until the flow from the opened faucets becomes steady, with no spurting or air bubbles. d. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet for one minute, or until all air is expelled. 12 e. Close all faucets and check your plumbing work for leaks. f. Make sure the softener's valve drain hose is hooked up and the open end directed to a floor drain, laundry tub or other suitable type of drain. g. Make sure the softener's bypass valve is in the bypass position. h. Plug in the power supply. I. Program the electronic controller: Follow the steps on Pages 14 & 15 to program the electronic controller with basic operating information, such as time and water hardness. After completing these steps, continue with "j. Start a recharge", below. j. Start a recharge: Press the RECHARGE button and hold for 3 seconds, until "Recharge Now" flash- es in the display and you hear the valve motor run as the softener begins recharging. k. Once the unit is in backwash, place bypass valve(s) into the service position, as follows: (1) SINGLE BYPASS VALVE: Slowly move the valve stem toward service position, pausing sev- eral times to allow the unit to pressurize slowly. (2) 3 -VALVE BYPASS: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. Slowly open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the unit to pressurize slowly. I. Let the softener complete the backwash and fast rinse cycles (takes 10-.12 minutes). When the recharge cycle ends, the softener valve returns to the service position. 10. ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE BRINE TANK a. Using a pail or garden hose, add about 3 gallons of water into the brine tank. DO NOT pour into the brinewell. b. Add salt to,the brine tank. It is recommended to fill the brine tank no more than 1/2 full. Level the salt when finished adding. You can use most water softener salts, but it must be clean. Recommended nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts have less than 1% impurities. NOTE: See page 17 for additional information on salt. 11. SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER Care is taken at the factory to keep your EcoWater Systems water softener clean and sanitary. However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the unit. For this reason, sani- tizing as follows is suggested" when installing. a. Remove the brinewell cover and pour about 1-1/2 oz. (2 to 3 tablespoons) of common household bleach into the softener's brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover. b. Make sure the bypass valve is in the service posi- tion. c. Start a recharge: Press the RECHARGE button and hold for 3 seconds, until "Recharge Now" flashes in the display and you hear the valve motor run as the softener begins recharging. This recharge draws the sanitizing bleach into and through the softener. Any air remaining in the unit is purged to the drain. d. After the recharge has completed, fully open a cold water faucet, downstream from the softener, and allow 50 gallons of water to pass through the sys- tem. This should take at least 20 minutes. Close ' the faucet. 12. RESTART THE WATER HEATER Turn on the electric or fuel supply to the water heater, and light the pilot, if applies. NOTE: The water heater is filled with hard water and, as hot water is used, it refills with softened water. In a few days, the hot water will be fully conditioned. To have fully conditioned hot water immediately, wait until the recharge (Step 11) is complete, then drain the water heater until water runs cold. "Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On some water supplies, the EcoWater Systems unit may need periodic disinfecting. 13- 01 Display RECHARGE button CONTROLLER SETTINGS REQUIRED upon installation, and after an extended power outage.

FIG. 22 .1• 1 _I �' ■ "� PM RECHARGE NOW FIG. 23 If electrical power to the softener's control is lost, internal memory will maintain most settings such as the hardness and recharge time., However, unless the power outage was very brief, the clock's present time will need to be reset. During a power outage, the display will be blank and the softener will not recharge. When electrical power is restored: 1. Check the display. 2a. If the present time is displayed steadily (not flash- ing), the controller did not lose time and you do not need to reset the clock. 2b. If a time is flashing in the display, then the clock needs to be reset to the correct present time. See "Set Present Time of Day" on page 14. The flashing display is to remind you to reset the clock. If you do not reset the clock, then recharges will most likely occur at the wrong time of day. NOTE: If the softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will finish the cycle when power returns. 15 The softener begins an immediate regeneration. Once started, you cannot cancel this regeneration. Avoid using hot water during this time, as the water heater will refill with hard water.

This may initiate more frequent recharges. However, it will operate at 4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher. 16 REFILLING WITH SALT If the softener uses all the salt before more is added, hard water will result. Remove the brine tank lid and check the salt level frequently. Until you have estab- lished a refilling routine, check the salt every 2 or 3 weeks. Be sure that the brinewell cover is on when adding salt. NOTE: In humid areas it is best to keep the salt level less than half full and refill more often. RECOMMENDED SALT: Cube, pellet, coarse solar, etc., water softener salt is recommended. This type of salt is high purity evaporated crystals, sometimes formed and pressed into briquets. It has less than 1% insoluble (not dissolvable in water) impurities. Clean, high grade rock salts are acceptable, but may require frequent brine tank cleaning to remove the "sludge" residue (insolubles) collecting at the bottom of the tank. POTASSIUM CHLORIDE: If you choose potassium chloride (KCI) salt instead of standard sodium chlo- ride (NaCl) water softener salt as a regenerant: 1) The hardness setting must be increased by 25%. 2) Place only one bag of potassium chloride (KCI) into your water softener at a time. The salt storage tank should never contain more than 60 pounds of KCI. SALT NOT RECOMMENDED: Rock salt high in impurities, block, granulated, table, ice melting, or ice cream making salts, etc., are not recommended. SALT WITH IRON REMOVING ADDITIVE: Some salts have an additive to help a water softener handle iron in.the water supply. Although this may help keep the resin bed clean, it may also release corrosive fumes that will weaken and shorten the life of some EcoWater Systems softener electronic parts. Iron Out salt is safe to use on two -tank models. 17 BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE Sometimes a hard crust or salt "bridge" forms in the brine tank. This is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and the salt. Then salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed is not recharged and hard water will result. If the storage tank is full of salt, it is difficult to tell whether there is a salt bridge. A bridge may be underneath loose salt. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge: Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the softener's brine tank, as shown in Figure 29. Make a pencil. mark on the handle 1" - 2" below the top of the rim. Then, carefully push it straight down into the ' salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark is even with the top, it is most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in several places to break it. Do not try to break the salt bridge by pounding on the outside of the salt tank. You may damage the tank. Push tool into salt bridge to break 1"-2" Pencil Mark Broom Handle Salt Salt Bridge Empty Space Water Level FIG. 29 CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VENTURI A clean nozzle & venturi (See Figure 30) is a necessi- ty for the water softener to work properly. This small component creates the suction to aspirate (bring air into) the mineral tank during recharges. If it should become plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the water softener will not work, and hard water will result. To get access to the nozzle & venturi, remove the water softener's top cover. Put the bypass valve(s) into the bypass position. Be sure the water softener's main valve is in "service" position (no water pressure at nozzle & venturi). Then, holding the nozzle & ven- turi housing with one hand, unscrew the cap. Do not lose the o -ring seal. Lift out the screen support and screen. Then, remove the nozzle & venturi disc, gas- ket and flow plug. Wash the parts in warm, soapy water and rinse in fresh water. Be sure to clean both the top and bottom of the nozzle & venturi disc. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Do not scratch, misshape, etc., surfaces of the nozzle & venturi. Gently replace all parts in the correct order. Lubricate the o -ring seal with silicone grease and locate in place. Install and tighten the cap by hand, while sup- porting the housing. Overtightening may break the cap or housing. Put the bypass valve(s) into "service" position. Recharge the softener to reduce water level in the tank. This will also assure that the softener is com- pletely recharged and ready to provide softened water again. Check the water level in the tank by looking down the brinewell. If the water level does not drop after a recharge, the problem has not been resolved. 18 Cap__9 O-ring Seal Screen Support Screen \� *Flow Plug Nozzle & Venturi Disc Gasket � Cone Screen *Flow Plug (HVDC) Housing--- Install ousing--- *Install with lettered Ferrule side up, concave Nut side down. IMPORTANT: Be sure small hole in the gasket is cen- tered directly over the small hole in the nozzle & ven- turi housing. Be sure the numbers are facing up FIG. 30 RESIN BED CLEANING If the water supply contains clear water iron, regular resin bed cleaning is needed to keep the bed from coating with iron. Use resin bed cleaner, available from EcoWater Systems, following directions on the container. Clean the resin every six months, or more often if iron appears in the conditioned water supply. AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS This softener has a self-diagnostic function for the electrical system. The computer monitors electronic components and circuits for correct operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error code appears in the dis- play. U J FIG. 31 The chart below shows the error codes that could appear, and the possible malfunctions for each code. Code Possible Problems Err01 Motor, Valve Position Switch Err03 Motor, Valve Position Switch, Wire Harness Err04 Valve Position Switch Err05 Electronic Control Board (PWA) While an error code appears in the display, all buttons are inoperable except the SELECT button. SELECT remains operational so the service person can per- form the Manually Initiated Electronic Diagnostics to further isolate the problem. TO REMOVE AN ERROR CODE: 1. Unplug the power supply. 2. Correct the problem. 3. Plug the power supply back in. 4. Wait for at least 8 minutes while the timer operates the valve through an entire cycle. The error code will return if the problem was not corrected. ,ition tch Sensor Housing Turbine Turbine Support & Shaft falve Outlet FIG. 32 -19 MANUALLY INITIATED ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS Use the following procedures to advance the softener through the recharge cycles to check operation.

There are two measures of regeneration efficiency - brine efficiency and water efficiency. Brine efficiency is a measure of how much salt a softener system uses to remove hardness from the water. The brine efficiency of a system is calculated as the grains of hardness removal capacity per pound of salt used to regenerate the system (grain/Ib). Water efficiency is a measure of how much water the system uses to regenerate, and is usually calculated as gallons/regeneration, or gallons of regeneration water/1000 grains hardness removed. Softeners that are tested to the NSF/ANSI standard 44 for Residential Cation Exchange Water Softeners can be efficiency rated if they use demand initiated regeneration (i.e. meter or sensor initiated, not time clock). Per the standard, efficiency rated softeners must have a rated salt efficiency of at least 3350 grains per pound of salt used for regeneration. Additionally, the salt efficiency for softeners installed in California must be at/ least 4000 grains per pound.) Efficiency rated softeners must also meet a water efficiency of 5 gallons of `"-regeneration water (or less) per 1000 grains of hardness removed. In an ion exchange water softener, hardness ions in the water - primarily calcium and magnesium - are exchanged on the ion exchange resin for sodium. When all available exchange sites are converted from sodium to hardness, the softener is exhausted and needs to be regenerated. Regeneration is achieved by exposing the ion exchange resin to a brine solution. Sodium chloride is typically used, although potassium chloride may also be used. (We will focus on sodium chloride solutions although the same process takes place when a potassium chloride brine solution is used.) The brine concentration is high enough that the resin replaces the hardness ions on the resin with sodium ions. The hardness ions removed from the resin, along with some excess sodium and chloride ions, are sent to the drain. To make the sodium exchange back onto the resin, excess sodium is required. To optimize brine efficiency, the system is designed so that as little excess sodium chloride as possible is discharged to the drain. Optimizing brine efficiency lowers system operating costs and reduces the level of brine discharged into the environment. There are many ways to optimize the brine and water efficiency ofa softener system through system design and operation. Factors affecting brine efficiency include salt dose, brine flow rate, brine flow direction, reserve setting, and others as discussed in this paper. Section 1: Brining Considerations Salt Dose and Concentration Salt dose is the primary variable in achieving brine efficiency. A typical capacity curve and efficiency curve for an ion exchange resin is shown below: http://watertreatmentguide.com/achieving_brine_efficiency_in_softening.htm 5/12/2017
