Developed to produce
drinking water from water
sources with poor quality!
The system is made up of several
components with different
characteristics, which together
makes a very ecient and compact
water purifier. All components are
produced by well known
international manufacturers and
thus the purification statistics are
very well documented.
Electricity is not required; the system
runs on water pressure only. The unit
is suitable for private houses, cabins,
boats etc. It is also preferable to use
in connection with water coolers and
hot drink dispensers.

ASSEMBLY
Eco Friendly is a system that is very easy to assemble,
however, it is recommended that an authorised plumber
installs the unit. Do not overtighten, it is not necessary due
to the o-rings that will seal when hand tightened.
•
Turn off the main water supply or use a stop valve [2].
•
Install the unit onto the cold water pipe/grid [1].
•
It is highly recommended to install a separate stop valve [2] and a water
leakage protection valve [3].
•
Is is also highly recommended to install a separate tap for the purified
water [8]. (i.e Eco Water tap-kit, please read page 4 for assembly
instructions).
•
If you choose to install Eco Water tap-kit, all necessary hoses/pipes and
couplings are included in the kit. Adjust the lengths of the pipes/hoses [4]
and assure they are cut straight and not jammed.
•
Place the purification unit in an appropriate place under the sink. NOTE!
Remember to leave a 10cm clearing underneath the unit. This is very
important in order to open the unit for cleaning/maintenance and/or
exchange filters.
•
Connect the hose/pipe between the units out take [6] and the tap [7] on
the sink. Connect the hose/pipe between the water leakage safty valve [3]
and the units water inntake [5]. Make sure the flow of the water goes the
correct way through the system. Make sure nothing is jammed/squeezed.
•
Turn on the water supply [2]. Now turn on the allocated tap and let the
water run to waste for about 10 minutes. leave it unused for 24 hours and
then run to waste for about three minutes. This is to remove loose particles
resulting from the manufacturing process and to let the filter element to
be conditioned tothe source water. After this, the filter is ready for use.
Note! The unit does not tolerate frost.

TAP ASSEMBLY
Our tap-kit is designed to be
placed on the kitchen countertop
or directly on the edge of the sink.
It is important that the tap is
situated so that waste water runs
into the sink and down the drain.
Drill a hole (14mm) through the
•
countertop/sink.
Place seals and washers as shown
•
on the illustration. The
escutcheon (A) and the rubber
seal o-ring (B) is to be placed
above the countertop. The black
locating washer (C), star washer
(D) and the lock nut (E) is to be
assembled below the countertop.
The plastic fitting should be
•
placed on the water intake of the
tap and the water hose should
be pushed into the fitting.

MAINTENANCE
The filters in your EcoFriendly water purification system must be cleaned from
time to time. Cleaning is easy – no plumber or other service personnel is
necessary. The quality of the water source decides how frequent it is necessary
to clean the filters.
The filters have to be replaced if the purification system delivers no water at all,
or when the water flow is low even after cleaning the ceramic filter. Filter
change will probably be necessary after approx. 2 500 liters or after 6 - 12
months of daily use (water source dependent).
Soon after the purification system has been put to use for the first time you will
experience a noticeable drop in the water pressure. This is expected due to
residue (from production) from the High performance filter that are clogging
up the ceramic filter. A cleaning of the ceramic filter is thus necessary relatively
short after put to use the first time, or after filter change. The system will deliver
purified water in a much longer period after this first removal of production
residue. The quality of the water source decides how frequent it is necessary to
clean the filters.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC FILTER
The ceramic filter is placed to the right.
•
Turn of the systems water source. Release water pressure by opening a
connected tap. It’s a good idea to place a bowl or a towel under the
purification system before opening the filter houses.
•
Open the ceramic filter housing using the enclosed tool.
•
Remove the filter from the filter housing. Handle the filter with great care
– it can easily break.
•
Use the enclosed sponge to clean the filter with cold water. Do not use
soap! Rub the filter surface a couple of times.
•
Put the filter back in the filter housing. Make sure to place the filter in the
correct direction – see writing on the filter.
•
Re-attach the filter housing to the purification unit. Tighten with the
enclosed tool (it’s sucient to tighten by hand). Make sure the housing is
placed correctly. If the housing is attached askew, or the O-ring or filter is
placed incorrectly, a leak will probably occur.
•
Open the water flow into the purification system.
•
Turn on the water and let the water flow for about 3 minutes (this
removes dirt, particles etc.)
•
Make sure that there are no leakages from the filter housings.
If the system has not been used for a few days,
let the water flow for about 3 minutes before use.
