4. PREPARATION OF THE INSTALLATION SITE
• Installation area must meet all relevant building code. Water and power supply, and ambient
conditions must meet Specification requirements of this manual.
• Observe all local plumbing and electrical codes when connecting system to utilities.
• Install a check valve when connecting the filter to water mains. Install second check valve after
the system to prevent backflow.
• Particles such as sand, scale or rust can damage the control valve. Install a point-of-entry
sediment filter.
• Equip the system with sampling taps and pressure gauges as shown in the installation diagram
in p.16. This will help if any maintenance or troubleshooting is necessary.
• Install a vacuum relief valve as shown if there is a booster pump downstream of the Ecosoft
filter. The FRP tanks may implode if subjected to negative pressure.
• If your system does not include bypass valve assembly, install a bypass pipeline along the entire
system. This may be necessary for diagnostics and maintenance.
5. INSTALLATION
If your cabinet was delivered pre-loaded with media, place the cabinet in the installation spot, fill
the salt compartment with salt pellets, and then carry out only steps «5 – 8» of the procedure,
skipping steps «1 – 4». If the resin was shipped in bag, then carry out all of the following steps.
1. Disconnect the flexible tube from brine inlet of the control valve. Unmount the valve by
screwing it counterclockwise.
2. Put a plug or cap on the top end of the riser pipe prevent any media from getting inside the
pipe. Pour the media in the tank using the funnel. When loading the tank, keep riser pipe vertical.
If the pipe tilts, restore it to straight vertical direction. When finished, rinse the thread of tank
opening with water to remove any beads of media stuck in the groove.
3. Mate the top distributor with the top end of riser pipe, then screw control valve in the tank
opening. Connect the free end of brine tube back to the brine inlet of the control valve.
4. Place the cabinet in the installation spot. Open top lid and fill the salt compartment with
softener salt pellets at least half full.
5. Connect drain pipe to the male threaded drain outlet of the control valve. Run the drain pipe
to floor drain or gravity drain pipe socket. Secure the drain pipe end above the receiving fixture
with at least 1" air gap.
6. Mount the pipe-thread elbow adapters to the control valve's In and Out ports and tighten the
coupling nuts. Do not place any mechanical load on fittings or use them to support pipes.
Connect the system to the water supply and downstream pipework without turning on the water
supply. Do not confuse In and Out ports. They are embossed with direction arrows.
