Installation Instructions
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY
1. Close the main water supply valve, located near the
well pump or water meter.
2. Shut off the electric or fuel supply to the water
heater.
3. Open all faucets to drain all water from house pipes.
NOTE: Be sure not to drain water from the water
heater, as damage to the water heater ele-
ments could result.
ASSEMBLY
1. EcoPure models are factory assembled. During
installation, unsnap and remove the top cover,
together with the salt lid, to expose the softener
valve assembly. Set them aside to prevent damage.
Check the brinewell to be sure it is secured and ver-
tical (See Figure 11).
2. Lift the brine valve out of the brinewell. Make sure
the float stem is parallel to the stand tube so the
seals will seat properly during operation. Place the
brine valve back into the bottom of the brinewell and
reinstall the brinewell cover.
3. Install the brine tank overflow grommet and elbow
into the 2 cm diameter hole in the back of the salt
storage tank wall.
MOVE THE UNIT INTO PLACE
1. Move the water softener into the desired location.
Set it on a solid, level surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not place shims directly under the
salt storage tank to level the softener.
The weight of the tank, when full of
water and salt, may cause the tank to
fracture at the shim.
