INLET / OUTLET PLUMBING OPTIONS
ALWAYS INSTALL either an EcoWater Systems
bypass valve #7214383, or a 3-valve bypass system.
Bypass valves allow you to turn off water to the sof-
tener for repairs if needed, but still have water in
house pipes.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A drain is needed for recharge discharge water. A
floor drain is preferred, close to the EcoWater
Systems conditioner. A laundry tub, standpipe, etc.,
are other options (See Figure 2).
A 120V, 60 Hz, grounded, continuously "live" electri-
cal outlet is needed, in a dry location within 10 feet of
the EcoWater Systems conditioner.
