How to maintain and operate your EcoWater automatic demand water softener

ESM9+ / ESM11+ / ESM15+

Thank you

Thank you for choosing a water softener from EcoWater. With over 80 years’ experience we have manufactured your new water softener from quality corrosion resistant materials to give you many years of trouble-free softened water. This manual will guide you on how to get the best out of it. Please read it carefully.

We recommend that your EcoWater softener is installed by an authorised EcoWater agent. Failure to install the EcoWater softener properly may void the warranty.

An installation manual is available with all our products and can be downloaded from our website or obtained from our head office. Visit www.ecowater.co.uk or call 01494 48 48 48

Due to continued product enhancement, EcoWater Systems reserve the right to alter the technical specification of their products at any time.

Enjoying EcoWater

When you first experience EcoWater you will feel the difference.

You will find you need to use a lot less bathing products, probably half as much as you are used to. You may find it easier to control the amount of liquid soap you use.

Cut down on the soap powder you use for your laundry. In most washes use 50% less product. Too much lather means clothes will not rinse properly.

Cleaning sinks, baths and basins – you will find that your cleaning chores are greatly reduced. A quick wipe round is all that is needed.

Looking after your water softener

Now that your EcoWater softener is installed, you will be experiencing luxurious soft water.

The rolling screen on your softener provides continuous up-to-date information (see page 4).

To keep supplying your household with soft water, your EcoWater softener will go through a self-cleaning process (we call it a recharge). It is an automatic process and there is nothing you need to do except keep your softener topped up with tablet salt. Your softener can remind you when to top it up (see page 5).

Your EcoWater softener keeps a history of your water usage and adapts accordingly so you will never run out of soft water (see temporary increase in water usage page 6). The time of the recharge is always defaulted at 2am.

TABLET SALT

Use of tablet salt will vary depending on your water usage. As a guide an average family could use 6 x 25kg bags of tablet salt per year.

Looking after your drinking water filters

Carbon Cartridges (For EcoFresh, Safe Filter and Reverse Osmosis Systems)

We recommend changing your carbon cartridges every 6 months.

Membrane (Reverse Osmosis Systems only)

We recommend changing your membrane every 3 years.
