Instructions Before Using
• Before beginning installation, read all instructions completely. Then obtain all the materials and tools needed
for installation.
WARNING:
Failure to setup, install and/or startup the system correctly in any manner voids the warranty.
• Perform installation according to state and local plumbing codes.
- Use of flexible stainless steel connections is highly recommended (if code applicable) to connect unit to
water supply. Allows flexibility for tank expansion under pressure (see installation section in this manual).
- Use of teflon tape is the only sealant to be used on threaded drain and adaptor connections.
- Use only lead-free solder and flux for sweat-solder connections, as required by state and federal codes.
• Handle all components of the system with care. Do not drop, drag or turn components upside down.
• Existing Plumbing: Condition of existing plumbing should be free of lime &/or iron buildup. Pipe should be
replaced if any heavy buildup exists. Pre-existing conditions will effect the performance of this system.
• Be sure the floor under the system is clean and level.
• Electrical: All Spectrum Systems (USA versions) use 24 volt transformer for electrical power.
- Always use the supplied power cord and transformer.
- Plug power cord into an indoor 120 volt, grounded and unswitched (dedicated) outlet.
- Properly ground system to conform with all codes and ordinances.
• Install system in a protected area. Be sure electric outlet and transformer do not come in contact with water.
See “Where to Install the System” in the Setup section, Page 7 of this manual.
- Always connect the system to the proper and correct main water supply pipe before the water heater(s).
- Do not install in direct sunlight. Heat from sun may cause damage.
- Do not flow any water at any time over 110°F through the system.
- Do not expose system to freezing temperatures which causes equipment damage and voids the warranty.
WARNING:
Any water over 110°F, thermal expansion of any water heater or where any hot or heated water
comes back or flows through the system over 110°F at any time voids the warranty.
• Pressure: Minimum inlet water pressure is 20 psi. Maximum inlet water pressure is 75 psi. Use pressure
reducing valve (PRV) if necessary to prevent high pressure and problem pressure surges above 75 psi.
WARNING:
Pressure exceeding, surging or spiking above 75 psi or any negative pressure voids the warranty.
Important Safety Information - All Systems
CAUTION: Read and follow the information in this manual to minimize the
risk of electric shock or personal injury.
IMPORTANT! If you are unsure about the installation of your system, con-
tact EWS customer service or consult a professional plumber.
IMPORTANT! This system must be installed in compliance with applicable
state and local codes, law, and regulations.
CAUTION:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection. Well water needs to be properly and completely
tested before the specification of any filtration and treatment system(s).
• Test water periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily.
• Discard small parts remaining after the installation.
