SAFETY GUIDES

Follow the installation instructions carefully. Failure to install the EcoWater softener properly voidsthe warranty.Before you begin installation, read this entire manual. Then, obtain all thematerials and tools youwillneed to make the installation.Check local plumbing and electrical codes. The installation must conform to them.Useonly lead--free solderand flux for all sweat--solder connections, as required by state and feder-al codes.Use care when handling the EcoWater softener. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp pro-trusions.Donot locate theEcoWater softenerwhere freezing temperatures occur. Donot attempt to treatwaterover 120°F. Freezing, or hot water damage voids the warranty.Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non--metallic parts.The EcoWater softener requires a minimumwater flow of 3 gallons perminute at the inlet.Maximumallowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressuremay exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary. (Adding a pressure reducingvalve may reduce the flow.)TheEcoWater softenerworks on 24 volt--60 hz electrical power only.Be sure to use the includedtransformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is grounded and properlyprotected by an over current device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer is replaced, useonly the authorized service, Class II, 24 volt, 10 VA transformer.This system is not intended to beused for treatingwater that ismicrobiologically unsafe or of unknownquality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposedof according toWaste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directiveor similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to yourstate and local laws for proper disposal of this equipment.

WATER

Man’s very existence depends on water. It is 1 of thebasic commodities of life. Water is best as natureprovides it, is a common misconception. Practicallyall natural water needs refinement or treatment tomake it safe to drink or more satisfactory to use.

The earth’s water supply cycle starts in the uppercloud layers. As it falls to the earth as rain or snow,it picks up impurities and gases from the atmo-sphere. Landing on earth, it seeps over and throughthe ground, dissolving earth minerals. Passingthrough limestone, it dissolves calcium and magne-sium, the hardness minerals. Iron deposits impartiron to the water. Acidity and sediments are otherwater conditions.

Municipal water supplies come from surface reser-voirs, such as lakes and rivers, or from undergroundreservoirs. Usually, municipalities chlorinate the wa-ter to make it safe to drink. Sediment is removed byfiltration. Tastes and odors are reduced or elimi-nated. The water is conditioned to comply with cer-tain specifications. However, hardness minerals,tastes and odors are not always reduced to themostdesirable levels.

Underground reservoirs provide our private watersupplies. Because the water is raw and untreated, itcan have varying amounts of hardness, iron, tastes,odors, acidity, or combinations of these. Different lo-calities and water levels affect mineral content.

WATER CONDITIONING

Water conditioning is the treatment of four generalconditions. These are: (1) Hardness, (2) Iron, (3)Acidity, (4) Sediments.

(1) HARDNESS is a term to describe the presenceof calcium and magnesium minerals in water. Achemical analysis accurately measures the amountof minerals in grain weight. For example, 1 gallon ofwater with 5 grains per gallon (gpg) hardness hasdissolved minerals, that if solidified, about equalsthe size of 1 ordinary aspirin tablet. Onegallon ofwa-ter, 25 gpg hard, has a mineral content equal in sizeto 5 aspirin tablets. Water hardness varies greatlyacross the country. It generally contains from 3 to100 gpg.

Hardwater affects living in general. Hardnessminer-als combine with soap to make a soap curd. Thecurd greatly reduces the cleaning action of soap.Precipitated hardness minerals form a crust oncooking utensils, appliances, and plumbing fixtures.Even the tastes of foods are affected. A water soft-ener removes the hardness minerals to eliminatethese problems, and others. Pages 16--17 describehow the EcoWater conditioner works.

Sodium Information: Water softeners using sodiumchloride (salt) for regeneration add sodium to thewater. Persons on sodium restricted diets shouldconsider the added sodium as part of their overall in-take.

(2) IRON in water is measured in parts per million(ppm). The total* ppm of iron, and type or types*, isdetermined by chemical analysis. Four differenttypes of iron in water are: Ferrous (clear water),

Ferric (red water), Bacterial and organicallybound iron, Colloidal and inorganically bound iron(ferrous or ferric).

*Water may contain one or more of the four types ofiron and any combination of these. Total iron is thesum of the contents.

Ferrous (clear water) iron is soluble and dissolvesin water. It is usually detected by taking a sample ofwater in a clear bottle or glass. Immediately after tak-ing, the sample is clear. As thewater sample stands,it gradually clouds and turns slightly yellow or brownas air oxidizes the iron. This usually occurs in 15 to30 minutes. An EcoWater conditioner will removemoderate amounts of this type of iron*.

*Capacity to remove clear water iron was tested inthe field by the manufacturer.

Ferric (redwater), and Bacterial and organicallybound ironsare insoluble. This iron is visible immedi-ately when drawn from a faucet because it has oxi-dized before reaching the home. It appears as smallcloudy yellow, orange, or reddish suspended par-ticles. After the water stands for a period of time, theparticles settle to the bottomof the container.Gener-ally these irons are removed from water by filtration.Chlorination is also recommended for bacterial iron.An EcoWater conditioner will remove minimal quan-tities (see specifications) of ferric iron.

ECOWATERS Y S T E M S Water, and Water Conditioning

Colloidal and inorganically bound iron is a ferric orferrous form that will not filter or exchange out of wa-ter. In some instances, treatment may improve col-loidal iron water, but always consult a qualifiedwa-ter chemistry lab before attempting to treat it.Colloidal iron water usually has a yellowappearancewhen drawn. After standing for several hours, thecolor persists and the iron does not settle, but re-mains suspended in the water.

Iron in water causes stains on clothing and plumbingfixtures. It negatively affects the taste of food, drink-ing water, and other beverages.

(3) ACIDITY or acid water is caused by carbon diox-ide, hydrogen sulfide, and sometimes industrialwastes. It is corrosive to plumbing, plumbing fix-

tures, water heaters, and other water using ap-pliances. In can also damage and cause prematurefailure of seals, diaphragms, etc., in water handlingequipment.

A chemical analysis is needed to measure the de-gree of acidity in water. This is called the pH of water.Water testing below 6.9 pH is acidic. The lower thepH reading, the greater the acidity. A neutralizer filteror a chemical feed pump are usually recommendedto treat acid water.

(4)SEDIMENT is fine, foreignmaterial particles sus-pended in water. This material is most often clay orsilt. Extreme amounts of sediment may give the wa-ter a cloudy appearance. A sediment filter normallycorrects this condition.

COMPLETE WATER CONDITIONING SYSTEM -- Seldom would all the water conditioners shown below beneeded on onewater supply. The drawing does show the proper sequence location of each conditioner. Notethat only a taste and odor filter is installed after a water softener. All other filters belong before thewater soften-er. Also note that outside faucet lines are before the treated water, and the water heater is after all condition-ing.

SELECT INSTALLATION LOCATION

Consider all of the following when selecting aninstallation 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 shouldremain on hard water to avoid wasting condi-tioned water and salt (see drawing on page 6).

S Anearby drain is needed to carry away regenera-tion discharge water. A floor drain is preferred,with a laundry tub, standpipe, etc., as other op-tions (check your local codes).

S The EcoWater conditioner works on 24 voltsonly. A transformer is included to reduce120V--60 Hz house power. Provide an approved,grounded outlet within 10’ of the conditioner. Thetransformer has an attached 10’ power cable forconnection between the outlet and the timer.

S Position the EcoWater conditioner at least 6” fromsurrounding walls, or other appliances, to allowaccess for adding salt and servicing.

S Locate the EcoWater conditioner, in the plumbingsystem, 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 conditionerBEFORE the water heater. See the SafetyGuides on page 3. To reduce the risk of hot waterback-up, conditioned water piping between theEcoWater conditioner and water heater shouldbe as long as possible.

S Install the EcoWater conditioner in a place waterdamage is least likely to occur if it develops aleak.

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.

EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (re-charge) may be desired, or needed. Two examplesare:

---- You have used more water than usual (guestsvisiting) and youmay run out of soft water before thenext timer started regeneration.

---- You did not refill the softener with salt before itwas gone.

You can start a regeneration right away, or you canset the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (orother preset recharge time). Do the following.

RECHARGE NOW

Press the RECHARGE keypad and hold for 3 se-conds. RECHARGE NOWbegins to flash in the dis-play, and the softener enters the fill cycle of regen-eration right away. This regeneration will last forabout 2 hours. Then, you will have soft water again.

RECHARGE TONIGHTPress and release (do not hold) the RECHARGEkeypad. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the dis-play, and the softener begins regeneration at thenext preset recharge time. If you decide to cancelthe regeneration before it has started, press and re-lease the RECHARGE keypad once more to turn offthe flashing RECHARGE TONIGHT.

PROGRAM MEMORYIf electrical power to the softener goes off, the timedisplay is blank but the face plate timer keeps thecorrect time for about 6 hours. When electrical pow-er comes on again, you have to reset the presenttime only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESSand RECHARGE TIME never require resetting un-less a change is desired.Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power out-age, the softener works as it should to keep yourwa-ter soft. However, regenerations may occur at thewrong time of day until you reset the timer to the cor-rect time of day.ERROR CODEAn error code could appear in the face plate displayif a problem occurs in the softener electronics. If yousee an error code instead of the time of day, seepage 20.

ECOWATERS Y S T E M S Electronic Demand Timer Features & Options

WATER METER:The water meter, consisting of a turbine, turbinemounting assembly, and the sensor housing, is lo-cated at the valve outlet port. As water passesthrough and spins the turbine, two magnets (in theturbine) cause a back--and--forth movement of aswitch in the sensor housing. This switch movementsends a pulse to the electronic demand timer.ELECTRONIC DEMAND TIMER:The demand timer is actually a small computer. Asit receives pulses from the water meter, it convertsthem to gallons of water passing through the watersoftener. It multiplies this water usage informationtimes the water hardness (preprogrammed into tim-er) to continually calculate the soft water capacity re-quired. The computer adjusts daily to water usinghabits, seeking to supply soft water for the longesttime, using the least (and most efficient) amount ofsalt and water to regenerate.When the computer determines more capacity isneeded, at the next regeneration starting time (2:00a.m., or as otherwise preset), it will schedule a re-generation.

ECOWATERS Y S T E M S Service Information

REFILLING WITH SALT

Remove the brine tank cover and check the salt stor-age level frequently. If the unit uses all the salt beforeyou refill it, you will get hard water. Until you haveestablished a refilling routine, check the salt every 2or 3 weeks. ALWAYS refill if less than 1/2 full. Besure the brinewell cover is on.

RECOMMENDEDSALT:Cube, pellet, coarse solar,etc., water conditioner salt is recommended. Thistype of salt is from high purity evaporated crystals,sometimes formed, or compressed, into briquets. Ithas less than 1% insoluble (will not dissolve inwater)impurities. Clean, high grade rock salts are accept-able, but may require frequent brine tank cleaning toremove the ‘‘sludge’’ residue (insolubles). NOTE: Ifusing potassium chloride (KCl) instead of standardsodium chloride (NaCl) water softener salt, hard-ness setting must be increased by 25%.

SALTNOTRECOMMENDED:Rock salt, high in im-purities, block, granulated, table, ice melting, icecream making salts, etc., are not recommended.

SALT WITH IRON REMOVING ADDITIVES: Somesalts have an additive to help a water conditionerhandle iron in a water supply. Although this additivemay help keep the resin bed clean, it may also re-lease corrosive fumes that will weaken and shortenthe life of some EcoWater System Unit parts.

BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE

Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in thebrine tank. It is usually caused by high humidity orthe wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, anempty space forms between the water and the salt.Then, salt will not dissolve in the water to makebrine. Without brine, the resin bed does not regener-ate and you will have hard water.

If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if youhave a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridgeis under it. Take a broom handle, or like tool, andpush it straight down into the salt. If a hard object isfelt, it’s most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push intothe bridge in several places to break it.

NOTE: In humid areas, it is best to keep the salt stor-age level lower, and to refill more often.

CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 13) is a must for theEcoWater System Unit to work right. This small unitcreates the suction to move brine from the brinetank, into the resin tank. If it should become pluggedwith sand, silt, dirt, etc., the EcoWater System Unitwill not work, and you will get hard water.

To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the EcoWa-ter SystemUnit top cover.Be sure the unit is in ser-vice cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and ventu-ri). Then, holding the nozzle and venturi housingwith one hand, turn off the cap. Do not lose the o--ring seal. Lift out the screen support and screen.Then, remove the nozzle and venturi. Wash theparts in warm, soapy water and rinse in fresh water.If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt.Be careful not to scratch, misshape, etc., surfaces ofthe nozzle and venturi. Also, check and clean thegasket and flow plug(s) if dirty.

Carefully replace all parts in the correct order. Lubri-cate the o--ring seal with silicone grease and locatein position. Install and tighten the cap,by handonly.Do not overtighten and break the cap or housing.

Figure 13

RESIN BED CLEANING

If the water supply contains ‘‘clear water ’’ iron (seepage 13), regular resin bed cleaning is needed tokeep the bed from coating with iron. Use resin bedcleaner, available from EcoWater, following direc-tions on the container. Clean the resin every 6months, or more often if iron appears in your condi-tioned water supply.

ADDING RESIN

Normally, the resin bed (FIG. 14) will last the lifetimeof the EcoWater System Unit. However, certainconditionsmay require partial or total replacement ofthe resin bed. Some of these conditions are:

(1) damaged top and/or bottom distributors have al-lowed resin to escape(2) resin bed iron fouled beyond use(3) some water supplies cause resin degradation

TROUBLESHOOTING

ALWAYS MAKE THE INITIAL CHECKS FIRSTINITIAL CHECKS:1. Does the time display show the correct time ofday?...If display is blank, check power source to the Eco-Water System Unit....If time is flashing, power was off for over two days.The unit resumes normal operation, when power re-turns, but regenerations occur at the wrong time....If an error code shows in the display (example:Err03), go to AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAG-NOSTICS, below.2. Plumbing bypass valve(s) must be in serviceposition (all the way open or closed, as applies).3. Inlet and outlet pipesmust connect to the EcoWa-ter System Unit inlet and outlet respectively.4. Is the transformer plugged into a ‘‘live’’, groundedwall outlet, and the power cable fastened securely?5. The valve drain hose must be free of kinks andsharp bends, and not elevated over 8’ above thefloor.6. Is there salt in the brine tank?7. Is the brine tubing connected? See repair partspage 26.8. Press the SELECT keypad two times to displaythe hardness setting. Be sure it is the correct setting

for the household’s water supply. ---- Make a hard-ness test of the raw water and compare with thehardness setting. Also test a conditionedwater sam-ple to verify if a problem exists. ----Press SELECTtwice more to return the present time display.If you do not find a problem after making the initialchecks, do MANUAL INITIATED ELECTRONICDIAGNOSTICS, and the MANUAL ADVANCE RE-GENERATION CHECK.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS

The faceplate computer has a self--diagnostic func-tion for the electrical system (except input powerandwater meter). The computer monitors electroniccomponents and circuits for correct operation. If amalfunction occurs, an error code appears in thefaceplate display.

The chart below shows the error codes that couldappear, and the possible defects for each code.

While an error code appears in the display, all face-plate keypads are inoperable except the SELECTkeypad.SELECT remains operational so the serviceperson can make the MANUAL INITIATED ELEC-TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS to further isolate the de-fect, and check the water meter.

CHECKINGTHEMODEL CODEENTRY (See page12)

Unplug the transformer at the electrical outlet, thenplug it in again. A “beep” will sound, then the modelcode displays for a few seconds. The test numberwill then display for a few seconds, followed by thepresent time display.

CHANGING THE MODEL CODE

IMPORTANT: READ page 12 BEFORECHANGINGTHIS CODE.

1. Enter the secondary mode...press SELECT andhold for 3 seconds.

2. Again, press SELECT and hold for 3 seconds.The current model code setting will display.

3. Use the (↑) or (↓) keypad to display the desiredmodel code.

4. Press SELECT to set.

5. Reset the timer (page 12) and reselect other de-sired options.

MANUAL INITIATED ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS

1. To enter diagnostics, press the SELECT keypadand hold for 3 seconds.

A.The first 3 digits indicate watermeter operation asfollows.

000 (steady) = conditionedwater not in use...no flowthrough the meter.

--open a nearby CONDITIONED WATER faucet--

000 to 199 (continual) = repeats display for each gallon of water passing through

the meter.

If you don’t get a reading in the display, with a faucetopen, pull the sensor housing from the valve outletport. Pass a small magnet back and forth in front ofthe sensor. You should get a reading. If you do geta reading, disconnect the outlet plumbing andcheck the turbine for binding. If you don’t get areading, the sensor is probably defective. CAU-TION: BE SURE TO TURN OFF WATER BEFOREYOU DISCONNECT PLUMBING.

Use the RECHARGE keypad to manually advancethe valve into each cycle and check correct switchoperation (step B ), and observe the valve positionindicator bars (step C).

B. The letter (P) and dash or dashes indicate posi-tion switch operation. The letter shows if the switchis closed. A dash shows when the switch is open.

NOTE:Theposition switch is closedwhen theplung-er is depressed, open when extended.

C. While in this diagnostic screen, the following in-formation is available andmay be beneficial for vari-ous reasons. This information is retained by thecomputer from the first time electrical power is ap-plied to the face plate.

---- Press (↑) to display the number of days this faceplate has had electrical power applied.

---- Press (↓) to display the number of regenerationsinitiated by this face plate since themodel codenum-ber was entered.

3. Press the SELECT keypad and hold 3 secondsuntil...

S525 shows.

This code identifies the softener nominal capacitysize. If the wrong number shows, the softener willoperate on incorrect programming. Do the followingas needed.

Return the present time display: Press the SE-LECT keypad.

Change the model code number: To display thecorrect model code number, press the (↑) UP orDOWN (↓) keypad. Press SELECT, and reset thetimer.

NOTE:

If the face plate is left in a diagnostic display (or aflashing display when setting times or hardness),present time automatically returns if a keypad isnot pressed within 4 minutes.

FACE PLATE REPLACEMENT: Be sure thevalve is in service position (observe valvecycle indicator) when replacing the face plate.

If, after installing and programming the replace-ment face plate, the valve is not in service posi-tion, do the following to assure correct cycleorientation, or timing, between the face plate andvalve.

Use the MANUAL ADVANCE procedures, page23. With the RECHARGE keypad, advancethrough the recharge cycles until the valve stopsin service position, and RECHARGE no longerflashes in the timer.

NOTE: The valve motor may automatically drivethrough several valve positions while searchingfor service. If an error code occurs, unplug thetransformer, then plug in again.

MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK

This check verifies proper operation of the valvemo-tor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flowrates, and other controller functions. Always makethe initial checks, and the manual initiated diag-nostics.

NOTE: The face plate display must show a steadytime (not flashing).

1. Press the RECHARGE keypad and hold in for 3seconds. RECHARGE NOW begins to flash as thesoftener enters the fill cycle of regeneration. Re-move the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight, ob-serve fill water entering the tank.

a. If itdoes notenter the tank, look for an obstructednozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tubing, or brinevalve riser pipe.

2. After observing fill, press the RECHARGE key-pad to move the softener into brining. A slow flow ofwater to the drain will begin. Verify brine draw fromthe brine tank by shining a flashlight into the brine-well and observing a noticeable drop in the liquid lev-el.

NOTE: Be sure a salt bridge is not preventing waterwith salt contact.

a. If the softener does not draw brine:-- nozzle and/or venturi dirty or defective.-- nozzle and venturi not seated properly on gasket.-- restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose).-- defective nozzle and venturi seal.-- other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor &disc, wave washer, etc.).

NOTE: If water system pressure is low, an elevateddrain hosemay cause back pressure, stopping brinedraw.

3. Again press RECHARGE to move the softenerinto backwash. Look for a fast flow of water from thedrain hose.

An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distribu-tor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.

4. Press RECHARGE to move the softener into fastrinse. Again look for a fast drain flow. Allow the soft-ener to rinse for a few minutes to flush out any brinethat may remain in the resin tank from the briningcycle test.

5. To return the softener to service, press RE-CHARGE once more.

24


Before working on the valve, turn off the water sup-ply and disconnect from electrical power.

TO RELIEVE PRESSURE

-- 3 VALVE BYPASS: Close the inlet valve and opena soft water faucet. Then close the outlet valve andopen the bypass valve.

-- OPTIONAL BYPASS:Slide the bypass valve stemto bypass position. Loosen the 3 hex head screws(see A in drawing) toward the backside of the valveto allowpressure water to bleed out. Catch thewaterwith a rag.

DISASSEMBLY

To remove a part or group of parts, refer to the valvedrawing. A common screwdriver or nut driver, Phil-lips screwdriver and pliers are the only tools neededto completely disassemble.

SERVICING THE VALVE

Inspect all o-rings, seals and gaskets for wear or de-fects.

Inspect the bottom surface of the rotor and disc forscratches, chips or wear.

NOTE: If replacement is needed, be sure to use thecurrent replacement part.

ASSEMBLY

Be sure all parts are in place and in the proper posi-tion. Lubricate ALL o-rings and seals with FDA ap-proved silicone grease. To install the rotor seal, firstplace the seal into the valve groove, rounded sidedown (see cross-section). Apply a light coating of sil-icone grease to the seal’s crossing ribs. Then, care-fully center the wear strip on the seal, and push itdownward onto the seal.

Install the nozzle and venturi seal and drain seal. As-semble two o-ringsand thewavewasheronto the ro-tor and disc. Then center the rotor and disc, in thevalve body, on the rotor seal.

Lower the cover onto the valve body and rotor shaft.Then install the cover holding screws. Before tight-ening the screws, install the valve cam and gear.Then, turn the rotor (CLOCKWISEONLY) to SER-VICE position. Tighten the screws using a criss-cross pattern. If a torque wrench is available, torqueto 30-40 inch pounds. Lubricate the gear on the mo-tor, and the valve cam gear with Molykote grease, orother high quality gear lubricant. Be sure to orientthe switch as shown, with the lever toward the cam.
