CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VENTURI
A clean nozzle & venturi (See Figure 129) is necessary
for the EcoWater Systems conditioner to work properly.
This small unit creates the suction to move brine from
the brine tank into the resin tank. If it should become
plugged with dirt, silt, sand, etc., the EcoWater Systems
conditioner will not work and hard water will result.
To get access to the nozzle & venturi, remove the con-
ditioner’s top cover. Put the bypass valve(s) into the
bypass position. Be sure the conditioner is in the serv-
ice cycle (no water pressure at the nozzle & venturi).
Then, holding the nozzle & venturi housing with one
hand, turn the cap to remove it. Do not lose the o-ring
seal. Lift out the screen support and screen. Then,
remove the nozzle & venturi. Wash the parts in warm,
soapy water and rinse in fresh water. If needed, use a
small brush to remove iron or dirt. Be careful not to
scratch, misshape, etc., surfaces of the nozzle & ven-
turi. Also, check and clean the gasket and flow plug(s)
if dirty.
Carefully replace all parts in the correct order.
Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease and put in
place. Install and tighten the cap, by hand only. Do not
overtighten, which could break the cap or housing. Put
the bypass valve(s) into service (soft water) position.

RESIN BED CLEANING
If the water supply contains clear water iron, regular
resin bed cleaning is needed to keep the bed from coat-
ing with iron. Use resin bed cleaner, available from
EcoWater Systems, following directions on the contain-
er. Clean the resin every six months, or more often if
iron appears in the conditioned water supply.
