ECOWATER S Y S T E M Warranty S LIMITED WARRANTY EcoWater Systems LLC Advantage Warranty Series ECR & ERR 3000 Water System Congratulations! You have just purchased the highest quality water conditioning product on the market. To register your warranty, complete the enclosed Warranty Registration Card and mail it within 30 days of purchase.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M S WATER CONDITIONING Water conditioning is the treatment of several conditions occuring in household water. The conditions treated by the unit you have purchased are: (1) Hardness, (2) Iron, (3) Sediments, (4) Barium and (5) Radium 226 and 228. These are described below: 1. HARDNESS is a term to describe the presence of calcium and magnesium minerals in water. A chemical analysis accurately measures the amount of minerals in grain weight.

ECOWATER S Y S T E M Installation S 1. INSTALL BYPASS VALVE and/or COPPER TUBES a. IF INSTALLING AN ECOWATER SYSTEMS BYPASS VALVE, put lubricated o--ring seals onto both bypass valve ports (FIGURE 3B). Carefully slide the bypass valve into the softener valve and install the “C” clips. b. Slide a lubricated o--ring seal onto each of the copper tubes. Carefully insert the copper tubes into the bypass valve (FIGURE 3B), or into the softener valve (FIGURE 3 and 3A). Then install the ‘‘C’’ clips.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M Installation S 5. CONNECT INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING 6. COLD WATER PIPE GROUNDING a. SOLDERED COPPER The house cold water pipe (metal only) is often used as a ground for the house electrical system. The 3-valve bypass type of installation, shown in FIGURE 1, will maintain ground continuity. If you use the plastic bypass, continuity is broken. To restore the ground, do either step a or b following. (1) Thoroughly clean and flux all joints.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M 8. INSTALL BRINE TANK OVERFLOW HOSE a. Connect a length of 1/2” I. D. hose to the brine tank overflow elbow and secure in place with a hose clamp. b. Run the hose to the floor drain, or other suitable drain point no higher than the drain fitting on the tank. If the tank overfills with water, the excess water flows to the drain point. 9. On Two Tank models, connect the brine tubing to the nozzle and venturi housing. 10. ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE BRINE TANK a.

At this setting, the EcoWater Systems conditioner begins recharge, or regeneration, ending no later than 5:30 AM. This is a good time in most households because water is not being used. If hot water is used while the unit is regenerating, the water heater will refill with hard water.

ECOWATER S Y S T E M Faceplate Controller, Features/Options S Advanced/Service Menu, continued Set Model: The controller is factory set to the model code, which provides the shortest recharge times and greatest water savings. For operation at higher salt efficiency levels, the alternate model code selection is required (see the product specification sheet). Do the following to change to this code, if desired.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M S Remote Monitor, Features/Options This EcoWater Systems conditioner comes with a Remote Monitor which can conveniently be placed in your home for viewing of your conditioners’ status. During normal operation, the green LED will flash at intervals of 5 seconds. If the unit requires salt, the amber LED will flash, and if the unit needs to be checked the red LED will flash.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M Service Information S REFILLING WITH SALT CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND VENTURI Remove the brine tank cover and check the salt storage level frequently. If the conditioner uses all the salt before you add more, you will get hard water. Be sure the brinewell cover is on when adding salt. NOTE: In humid areas, it is best to keep the salt storage level lower, and to refill more often. RECOMMENDED SALT: Cube, pellet, coarse solar, etc., water conditioner salt is recommended.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M Service Information S CAUTION: ALWAYS relieve water pressure in the EcoWater Systems conditioner, as follows, before removing parts from the valve or resin tank. DE--PRESSURIZE EcoWater Systems Bypass Valve PULL OUT for service 1. Put bypass valve(s) in bypass position. 2. Do Manual Advance step 1, page 20, (fill water to brine tank will depressurize the resin tank). PRESSURIZE 1. Put bypass valve(s) in service position. 2.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M Service Information S AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS The faceplate computer has a self--diagnostic function for the electrical system (except input power and water meter). The computer monitors electronic components and circuits for correct operation. If a malfunction occurs, the computer attempts to self correct, displaying ADJUST VALVE in the Normal View Screen. If self correction fails, an error code appears in the faceplate display.
ECOWATER S Y S T E M S continued from page 19 Use the recharge keypad to manually advance the valve into each cycle and check correct switch operation, and observe the valve position indicator. Service Information (↵) to start a recharge. As the EcoWater Systems conditioner enters the fill cycle of regeneration, remove the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight, observe fill water entering the tank. NOTE: The position switch is closed when the plunger is depressed, open when extended. a.
