acid or a commercial product like CLR or Lime Away instead of the white vinegar. This will
help dissolve the existing scale in the washer arms and inside surface of the dishwasher.
You may need to do this until all of the scale in the plumbing is dissolved. If you are using
harsh dishwashing detergents that have low ph, high chlorine, and phosphates, some of the
nano-crystals formed by the ecoTAC™ system may break down and cause spotting on the
dishes. We recommend that you reduce your soap usage as much as 50%, and that you use
eco-friendly phosphate-free dishwashing detergents. Using an anti-spotting agent such as
Jet-Dry® may also be useful.
A word about glass shower doors...
Over a few weeks you may see the existing scale slowly dissolve in your shower heads
thereby increasing water flow. You may need to clean the inlet screen of your shower head
during the first few weeks as mentioned above to remove some of the scale that is being
removed from your pipes. We recommend that you first clean the shower from existing
scale with a cleaning product that dissolves old scale that has built up before installation of
the ecoTAC™ conditioner system. CLR or Lime Away are good cleaner choices for this
purpose. We then recommend that you coat the walls in the shower, and your glass shower
doors with Rain-X® (www.rainx.com), a commercial product used for automobile
windshields. The Rain-X® allows the majority of the nano particles to be easily washed to
drain. The few nano particles that are left can be easily wiped down because they can no
longer adhere to the sides of the shower.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Reduced water pressure and/or flow rate
after initial installation.
Reduced water pressure and/or flow rate at
other times.
Solution
Limit high flow rate demands during the first
few days of operation to allow time for the
media bed to condition and saturate with
water. If significant pressure loss is
experienced, turn off water, wait 10 minutes
and try again. Ensure flow rate demands do
not exceed capacity specifications.
The sediment pre-filter may need to be
replaced. In most cases, it should be
replaced every 9 to 12 months. Ensure flow
