WARNING: This appliance must be earthed. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Extreme care should be taken with such installations, as the potential for damage, should
there be a leak, could be extremely high.
The water softener must be installed inside a plastic water tank, this tank should then be
provided with a 1 ¼" overflow about half way up the side. This overflow must then be run
outside the building. The water softener overflow may then be ignored. The drain however
must still be installed and great care taken with all joints and protection against freezing.
We strongly advise you contact EWC Service for advice on such installations.

CHECK INSTALLATION

Is the:
 Inlet to inlet pipe.
 Outlet to outlet pipe
 Drain and overflow as per instructions
Important: Overflow water will not flow uphill! Don't forget to check that the drain is not
kinked or in a position where it is possible to kink, freeze or jump out of the drainage pipe
due to water pressure. Get this wrong and it overflows, you will have a flood.
All OK?
 Ensure inlet, outlet and bypass valves are closed.
 Using the manual regeneration knob, turn the softener control clockwise into the 'In
Service' position.
 Turn on the mains water supply.
 SLOWLY Open inlet valve, you may hear a hissing noise as the water rushes through the
valve.
 Once the hissing noise has stopped, open the outlet valve and run some water. Don't
worry, this may be a brown colour at first, it is a stain washing out of the softener resin
and will do no harm. This will clear in approximately 2-3 minutes
