ECOWATER Inspect Shipment & Safety Guides S Y S T E M S INSPECT SHIPMENT The parts required to assemble and install the Air Aspirated Iron Filter are included with the unit. Thoroughly check the water filter for possible shipping damage and parts loss. Also inspect and note any damage to the shipping carton. Remove and discard (or recycle) all packing materials. To avoid loss of small parts, we suggest you keep the small parts in the parts bag until you are ready to use them.
ECOWATER Before Starting Installation S Y S T E M S WHERE TO INSTALL THE FILTER TOOLS, PIPE & FITTINGS, OTHER MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED = Place the filter as close as possible to the pressure tank (well system) or water meter (city water). = Plastic inlet and outlet fittings included with the fil- ter allow water flow equivalent to 1 inch nominal pipe. To maintain full valve flow, 1” pipes to and from the filter fittings are recommended. Do not reduce the pipes to less than 3/4” size.

ECOWATER Description of Operation & Sanitizing S Y S T E M S DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Service water enters the filter and passes through air captured at the top of the mineral tank. Dissolved iron, manganese and sulphur are oxidized and then removed by the media in the tank. When the system recharges, it first backwashes the contaminants to the drain, then empties the tank of water, replacing it with air drawn through the aspirator.

This is normally a time of day when water is not being used in the household. If you have a water softener or another filter installed, the recharge start times should be offset to assure adequate water flow and pressure.
ECOWATER Controller Features / Options (continued) S Y S T E M S RECHARGE CYCLE TIME ADJUSTMENTS AUXILIARY OUTPUT CONTROL The default setting for backwash and aspirate times of the recharge cycle are factory set for maximum performance of the filter. Use the following procedures to check for correct cycle times, or to change, if desired. It is recommended that only trained technicians should change the time settings.
