Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp protrusions. = Do not locate the conditioner/refiner: - where freezing temperatures may occur. - in direct sunlight. - where it may be exposed to wet weather. = Do not attempt to treat water over 49°C.= The conditioner/refiner requires a minimum water flow of 11 liters per minute at the inlet. = Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 8.6 bar. If daytime pressure is over 5.5 bar, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary. = This system works on 28 volt DC electrical power. Be sure to use the included power supply and plug it into a nominal 220-240V, 50 Hz household outlet that is in a dry location only, grounded and properly protected by an over current device such as a 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 electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of according to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. 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 the equipment. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS = Installation should only be performed by a trained professional. = Make sure that the main water supply is shut off before starting installation. = Always install either an EcoWater Systems bypass valve or a 3-valve bypass system. Bypass valves allow you to turn off water to the conditioner/refiner for repairs if needed, but still have water in house pipes. = A drain is needed for recharge discharge water. A floor drain is preferred, close to the EcoWater Systems conditioner/refiner. A laundry tub, standpipe, etc., are other options. = A 220-240V, 50 Hz, grounded, continuously “live” electrical outlet is needed, in a dry location within 2 meters of the EcoWater Systems conditioner/refiner. = After completing installation of the system, perform a pressure test to detect any leaks. = After completing pressure test, perform a manual recharge.

HOW TO SHARE A SYSTEM BETWEEN A

NOTE: A system can only be shared from a customer’s account, not a dealer’s. Systems can be “shared” between a dealer and customer. If a system is shared, the dealer has full access to the displays and settings for that system on the EcoWater Wi-Fi web site. If a system is not shared, the dealer only has access to the “Manage Dealer Alerts” screen for that system. Once a customer account has been created by a dealer, a customer can grant access to the dealer who sold that system. With permission, a dealer could also grant it for the customer. To do so, a dealer must log in as a customer rather than as a dealer, using the customer’s e-mail and password entered when the account was created.

NORMAL OPERATION / STATUS SCREENS

During normal operation, the unit displays status screens in an automatic sequence. In the “Wireless status” screen, the check marks indicate the following: P WiFi - The softener is connected to a Wi-Fi router. P Internet - The softener is connected to a Wi-Fi router which is connected to the internet.

The status screens described above will not be displayed when one of the following items is displayed: =Recharge status (Displayed during recharges, showing valve position and time remaining) =Add salt or Out of salt indicates salt needs to be added (Page 9). =Current time setting screen instead of status screens indicates time needs to be set (Page 8). =Service reminder (Contact your dealer) =Error detected (Contact your dealer) FLASHING DISPLAY The display will flash on and off when one or more of the following conditions occurs: =Salt needs to be added =Time needs to be set (Time has been lost) =Service is overdue (Service reminder) =Error condition The flashing will stop after any key is pressed. However, it will start again at Midnight if the underlying condition (e.g. low salt level) has not been addressed.

MANUALLY SETTING SALT LEVEL

(Two-Tank Model 600 Power only) This feature is active only on units without a salt level

ensor connected to the electronic controller. Cabinet models (no separate brine tank) have an internal

ensor that automatically measures the level of salt in the tank. The salt level is displayed on the salt status rolling screen and is used by the electronic control to calculate the number of days before empty. On two-tank Model 600 Power, you must manually enter the salt level number each time you add salt:

1. Press SELECT (¡) to go

2. Go to Salt settings

3. Go to Salt level screen.

4. Add and level salt, then

observe the numbered scale on the brinewell. Press UP (5) or DOWN (6) to match the lowest number visible above the salt.

BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE

Sometimes a hard crust or salt “bridge” forms in the brinetank. This is usually caused by high humidity or the wrongkind of salt. When this happens, an empty space formsbetween the water and the salt. Then salt will not dissolvein the water, the resin bed will not be recharged, and hardwater will result.A bridge may beunderneath loosesalt. Use a broomhandle or like toolto check, as shownin Figure 4.Carefully push itstraight down intothe salt. If a hardobject is felt, it ismost likely a saltbridge. Carefullypush into the bridgein several places tobreak it. Do not tryto break the saltbridge by poundingon the salt tank. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION

No soft water No salt in the storage tank. Add salt and then initiate a “Recharge now”.Salt is “bridged.” Break salt bridge (See above) and then initiate a “Recharge now”.Power supply unplugged, power cableleads disconnected from electronic controlboard, fuse blown, circuit breaker off.Check for power loss due to any of these and correct. When poweris restored, set the time if the display shows “Current Time” screen(See Page 8).Bypass valve(s) in bypass position. Place bypass valve(s) in service position (See Page 3).Valve drain hose plugged or restricted. Drain hose must not have kinks, sharp bends, or be raised too high. Water hard sometimes Bypassed hard water being used duringrecharge, due to current time or rechargetime settings being incorrect.Check the current time displayed. If not correct, refer to “SetCurrent Time” on Page 8. Check the recharge time, as described on Page 7.Hardness number setting is too low. Referring to “Setting Hardness” on Page 8, check the currenthardness setting and increase if needed. Have hardness of watersupply tested, if necessary.Hot water being used when conditioner/refiner is recharging.Avoid using hot water during recharges, because water heater refillswith hard water. Error code displayed Fault in wiring, position switch, valve,motor or electronic control board.Contact your dealer for service. ADDING SALT If the conditioner/refiner uses all the salt before more isadded, hard water will result. Cabinet models have auto -matic salt level sensing. On two-tank Model 600 Power,lift the brine tank lid and check the salt level frequently.Your Wi-Fi account can also be used to monitor salt. Besure that the brinewell cover is on when adding salt.TWO-TANK MODEL 600 POWER: After adding andleveling salt, always set the salt level number on theelectronic controller, as described on Page 7.NOTE: In humid areas it is best to keep the salt level lessthan half full and add salt more often.RECOMMENDED SALT: Cube, pellet, coarse solar, etc.,water conditioner salt with less than 1% insolubleimpurities. This type of salt is high purity evaporatedcrystals, sometimes formed into briquets.POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (KCl): If you choose KCl salt:= Set “Salt type” on the electronic control to “KCl”, asshown on Page 7.= Place only one bag of potassium chloride (KCl) intoyour conditioner/refiner at a time.SALT NOT RECOMMENDED: Rock salt high in impurities,block, granulated, table, ice melting, or ice cream makingsalts, etc., are not recommended.

However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the unit. For this reason, sanitizing is suggested* when installing:

1. Remove the brinewell cover and pour about 40 ml (2 to 3 tablespoons) of common household bleach into the

conditioner/refiner brinewell. Clorox and other brand names of bleach are readily available. Replace the brinewell cover.

2. Initiate a “Recharge now” (See Page 7). This recharge draws the bleach into and through the conditioner/refiner.
