INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your new

EcoWater Countertop Water Filter with

Monitor, an advanced filtration system

combined with state-of-the-art elec-

tronic capacity monitoring.

Your new system was designed to be a

convenient, portable, yet highly capable

water filter for today's needs. Its inte-

grated meter provides information on

filter life,

ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM

Your new Countertop Water Filter

features a combinafion of filtration

technologies to reduce unwanted

contaminants In a water supply2

The following technologies are com-

bined in the unique muftFfunotlonal

EcoWater RCCWF which reduces lead,

taste and odor to give you clear

sparkling drinking water:

First Stage: Mechanical Filtration

A melt blown polypropylene outer sleeve

prefilters all water flowing through your

system, reducing rust, sediment and

other debris. This prefiltratlon significantly

Increases the life of the carbon block,

therefore extending the life of the Filter.

Second Staae: Advanced Carbon Block

The second stage utilizes carbon block

technology and a special ATS2Sorbent

Media to reduce taste and odors,

chlorine and lead, The activated carbon

block provides high adsorptive capacity

and extreme uniformity at an economi-

cal cost. ATSutilizes a proprietary formu-

lation to selectively reduce soluble lead

from water supplies. Itsspeed and high

capacity make it an Ideal media for a

single cartridge filter system.

Thank you again for purchasing your

EcoWater Countertop Water Filter. We

hope you will enjoy It as much as we

enjoyed developing if for you,

PRECAUTIONS:

1. Read the following precautions and

Installation instructions completely

before beginning InstaUatlon. Please

note that this system should be

Installed In accordance with local

laws and regulations.

2, This water filter isfor use on COLD

_._, Hot water may damage

the system. Maximum temperature Is

100° F(38° C).

3, Protect the water filter and tubing

from freezing temperatures. Failure to

do so can cause damage and void

warranty.

4. This system must be installed on

mlcrabloloaicallv safe water.

STARTUP

1, Compare box contents with major

par_s list. [See Figure 1.) Please Note:

The Filter is installed, ready for use.

2. Install the 2 AAA batteries In the

bottom of the Filter Base assembly,

Please note how batteries are to be

insta{led by looking at diagram

Figure 3Figure 4

Page 3

molded into battery compartment,

Failure to properly InstaLlbatteries can

seriously damage the system,

Remove the existing faucet aerator

by unscrewing, if the faucet aerator Is

difficu[t to remove, a pair of pliers with

padded Jaws may work.

(See Figures 3 & 4.)

Remove the protective foam wrap

from the diverter. Please note that

there are two gaskets provided with

the dlverter. Use the thick gasket.

Thread the Dlverter Valve onto the

faucet "hand-tight* only, (See Figure

B.) Do not overtlghten! Overtlghten-

ing can damage the threads. If the

dlverter will not thread on properly,

use the thin gasket, If the Diverter

Valve is not compatible, an Adapter

and Gasket Kit is provided to obtain a

proper fit, (See Figure 1.)

To run water through the filter, turn on

the COLD WATER faucet and slide the

dlverter mechanism. To stop the flow,

turn off the cold water faucet or slide

the diverter mechanism in the oppo-

site direction. [See Figure 6,)

FLUSHING THEFILTER

On initialstartup or aftera Filterchange,

turnthe water on and rinsethe Filterfor5

mlnutesto remove carbon finesand

expel excessair.

For best results, after setting over night or

after several hours of non-use, turn the

system on and rinse the filter for 15

seconds before using.

You are now ready to enjoy your

EcoWater Countertop Water Filter.

NORMAL OPERATION

System performance and reduction of

contaminants Isdetermined by proper

flow rote. This unit as tested under ANSI/

NSF Standards 53 & 42 must be used at a

flow rate no greater than 0.75 gpm.

Exceeding this flow rate will affect the

ability of the system to reduce contami-

nant levels.

WATERMETEROPERATION SECTION

Your Countertop Water Filter comes with

a digital meter that shows you how

much filter fife is left at any given time. To

preserve battery life the display is only

acltvated when you draw water through

the tilter or press the "Display* button.

There are three informational screens

that can be viewed by pressing the

display button.

Screen 1: Caoacltv Remalnina

This display mode shows the remaining

capacity of your filter in gallons, (see

figure 7), in this case 500 gallons,

The unit of measure iseither galtons or

liters, depending on the programming at

the factory. The water drops at the

bottom of the screen graphically show

how much of the capacity of your filter

remains, much like a fuel gauge. By

pressing the display button you can

move on to the next display mode,

Screen 3: Flow Rate

Thisdisplay mode shows you at what

rate water Isflowing through your filter.

(See figure 9,) This unit Is designed and

tested to operate at 0.75 gpm through

the use of an Internal flow restrlctor that

Isdependant upon water pressure.As

occur,your displaymay flickerbetween

0.7and 0.8gpm.

The drawing shows that water Isflowing

through your filter at 0.7 gallons per

minute. (See figure 9.) The water drop

scrolls along the gauge at the bottom

as a second Indicator that water Is

flowing through your filter and the water

meter isworking properly. Pushing the

display button again would return you to

ALARM MODES

Advisory Beep - 50 gallons left

The water meter will alert you with an

advisory beep when there isless than

60 gallons (200 liters) of capacity remain-

Ing In your filter. It Is a slnale advisory

beep that sounds every 5 seconds when

you draw water, and only when you

draw water. We suggest you contact

your supplier for a replacement filter as

soon as you hear the advisory beep.

(See figure 10.)

CHANGING THEFILTERAND SANITIZING

THE SYSTEM

The EcoWater RCCWF Filter has a rated

life of 500 gallons or 6 months, however

in certain water supplies, taste or odors

may return or the flow may decrease

prior to its rated capaclW, In these cases

the Filter should be replaced more often.

To remove the exhausted Filter please

refer to the following Instructions'.

I. There wellbe water in the Filter Hous-

ing so be sure to change filters over the

sink. Hold the water filter upside down

when removing the Filter Housing to

reduce spillage. Unscrew the Filter

Housing by holding onto the base

assembly and turning the housing

clockwise. (See Figure 12,) Discard the

used Filter, _ discard the rubber

Housing O-Ring.

2. :111Fitter Housing with warm soapy

water and scrub with a soft brush or

sponge. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use

abrasive pads or cleaners. Add 2 capfuls

of unscented chlorine bleach to the Filter

Housing and fill 2/3 full with cold water.

Do not vet install the reolacement Filter,

3. Leaving the chlorine solution in the

Filter Housing screw the Filter Base

assembly into the Filter Housing. When

reassembling the Filter Housing to the

Filter Base it is Important that the rubber

Housing O-Ring is properly seated in its

groove in the Filter Housing or a water

leak could occur. Place the Housing and

Base right side-up with the Faucet

pointing Into the sink, Allow to stand for

1B minutes.

4. After 15 minutes, rinse the chlorine

solution from the Housing and Base by

tumtng on the COLD WATER faucet and

sliding the dlverter mechanism, The

system will be adequately rinsed when

no chlorine smell is present, Shut-oft the

cold water.

5. Again, hold the filter upside down,

unscrew the Filter Housing by turning .

clockwise and empty.

6, Remove the plastic wrap and label

from the replacement Filter and place it

In the Filter Housing so that the end with

the Cartridge O-Rings is facing outward

(toward the base). Make sure that the

Housing O-Ring is In the Filter Housing

and screw the Filter Housing onto the

Filter Base. (See Figure 12,)

7, Place the Filter System right side-up

with the Faucet pointing into the sink.

Rinse the Filter System for 5minutes to

remove carbon fines and expel excess

air, Be certain to reset the meter after

you have comDletelv rinsed the system !!
