1. UNPACKING

EcoWater Systems conditioner models R70 and R50S are
shipped from the factory in two cartons. These contain resin
tank/controller assembly in one carton and the brine tank,
cover, bag(s) of small parts needed to assemble and install
the unit, plus this manual, in the other.
EcoWater Systems conditioner/refiner models R20, R30 and
R40 are shipped from the factory in one master carton. The
carton also includes a bag of small parts needed to assemble
and install the unit, plus this manual.
Thoroughly check the EcoWater Systems conditioner/refiner
for possible shipping damage and parts loss. Also inspect
and note any damage to the shipping carton. Notify the trans-
portation company if damage is present. EcoWater Systems
is not responsible for in-transit damages.
Remove and discard (RECYCLE) all packing materials. We
suggest you keep the small parts in the bag(s) until you are
ready to use them.
2. BRINE TANK (on two-tank models)
a. Locate the brinewell in position. On the brine tank, locate
the slots at the bottom of the brinewell, toward the tank wall,
as shown in Figure 2. Then use the screw and washer (in
parts bag) to fasten the brinewell in place.
b. Lower the brine valve into the brinewell. Push the tubing
into the brinewell top slot (Fig. 2) and route it out of the brine
tank through the smaller hole in the rear wall of the brine tank.
c. Install the brinewell cover.
d. Take the rubber grommet and hose adaptor elbow from the
parts bag. Push grommet into the larger hole in the rear wall
of the brine tank. Then insert the larger diameter end of the
elbow through the grommet.

3. INSTALL BYPASS VALVE
TUBES
a. If installing an EcoWater Systems Bypass Valve, put
lubricated o-ring seals onto both bypass valve ports (See
Figure 3B). Carefully slide the bypass valve into the condi-
tioner/refiner 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
(See Figure 3B), or into the conditioner/refiner valve (Figures
3 & 3A). Then install the "C'' clips.
NOTE: For lubrication, use silicone grease approved for
potable water supplies
4. TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY
a. Close the main water supply valve near the well pump or
water meter.
b. Shut off the electric or fuel supply to the water heater.
c. Open high and low faucets to drain all water from the
.
house pipes
5. INSTALLING THREE-VALVE BYPASS
If installing a 3-valve bypass system, plumb as needed using
Figure 1 as a guide. When installing sweat copper, be sure to
use lead-free solder and flux, required by federal and state
codes. Use pipe joint compound on outside pipe threads
6. ASSEMBLE INLET & OUTLET PLUMBING
Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the
main water pipe (or from the bypass valves installed in Step
5), to the inlet and outlet copper tubes, installed in Step 3b.
Be sure hard water supply pipe goes to the valve inlet side.
Trace the water flow direction to be sure.
