Step 7. – Connect the Bypass Assembly to the ecoTAC™ Valve Head
Thread the bypass assembly with the outlet assembly
on to the valve head on the ecoTAC™ media tank as
shown.
Again, note the position of the fitting stops.
The threaded collars of the bypass assembly
should thread right up to the fitting stops with
no gap. Excessive force is not required to
obtain a good seal. Do not over-tighten.
*Please note: There is only a small amount of
ecoTAC™ media in the treatment tank. This is
completely normal and is necessary to allow the
required freeboard to permit the media bed to
completely fluidize during operation.
When water begins to flow into the bottom of the treatment tank, the ecoTAC™ media is lifted
and disbursed throughout the treatment tank in a fluidized bed which enhances contact with
the calcium and magnesium ions in the water. A contact time of only a few seconds is
required for the treatment of up to 25 grains per gallon (approx. 425 ppm or mg/l) of
hardness. Since the system is operated in a fluidized upflow configuration, the system will
not clog with sediment and no backwashing is required.
