Ecowater Water Softener Instructions

Bought my first house last October and didn't think to ask whether the softener was working. Deutsch Als Fremdsprache Nach The Men Erwin Tschirner Pdf To Excel more. Well turns out it isn't. I monitored the salt for a couple months and finally came to realize it wasn't depleting.

I don't have a manual but did my best to go through the (limited) options on the screen and figured out how to set it to regen every night. When I've been awake at 2am I've heard it going but the water continues to be hard and salt stays put. I walked into the EcoWater store and told them the situation. He said its likely depleted resin. He offered to test my water and found no difference between 'softened' water and that collected with the bypass on. In fact, he claimed it was worse with it on!

Im not really sure where to start. Of course he suggested I buy a new one.

If that's the only answer then fine. But I'm a very handy guy and if it's fixable I'm confident I can do it. Can someone share some thoughts on what it might be? Welcome to the forum. I'm not a softener expert or know much about your particular system.

Ansys 11 Keygen Download Mac. I do know with my system, I was able to remove the head of my unit, inspect the resin and give it a good rinse to get it working. My softener had sat without use for 4-5 months. I would suspect you should be able to replace the resin. The stuff is fairly pricy however, but could very well be cheaper then replacing the entire unit. If you can, post the model of your softener. Pictures of the entire setup (filters included) also is a big help.

Have you tested your water to confirm what is in it? Orangegreen, how handy are you to change out parts? Post the model # on the rating plate in the brine well. You can get all parts here, and would reccomend venturi rebuild and change the rotor and gaskets while your at it.

The plate should have the manufactured date also. If its not too old it would be cheaper to rebuild. If your on city water and the unit is 10 years or older I would replace the unit. Just for the heck of it, this is how to rebuild the head. Can you do this?

Rebuilding the venturi is the part on the left with the unscrewable dome. Just my opinion. • 2 people in the house. • Municipal water. • No dishwasher (although planning to install one this week).

• 2 bathrooms. • Small garden that needs daily watering.

• Don't know the age of the system (having a hard time finding the model number. • The house is about 50 years old - although it's all copper plumbing, I've been told the municipal supply to my area is not as 'treated' as the newer developments (whatever that means).

• When my water was tested, it was about 15 hardness. Another thing to mention is that I took a broom handle to the salt last night after someone suggested a bridge. I didn't find a bridge but as I was moving salt around I noticed it was sitting in water. Not sure if that helps diagnose what could be happening. Being in Canada, our prices are about double what you mentioned.

Home Depot sells a GE 30,000 grain for $600 I'm inclined to try fixing it. What I'm trying to avoid is fixing a bunch of the wrong parts that ends up costing me more than a new unit.

Here's some more info. Last night, I ran a manual recharge. During the recharge I could hear the motor working, I put my hands on all the pipes (input, output, drain) and they all seemed to have liquid flowing through them.

So as far as the valve running and any blockage, the most obvious things seem ok (I know I'm probably taking an overly simplified view). If you look at the second photo I posted. What is the black cylinder called?

Should the liquid be rising and falling in that chamber during the recharge (or any other time)? Ok, so when I ran the manual recharge and it was going through the first step, I felt water flowing through the input, output and drain pipes (I just tested this by holding on to the pipes). Should water be flowing through all three pipes at the same time??unless I was just feeling vibrations in one pipe produced by another. During this step, I took a peek inside the brine well and didn't notice the brine rising at all. Obviously, I didn't watch it for too long or sit there watching it through the entire recharge so I'm not sure if it eventually did. That was the easiest install I've ever done. I simply detached my old softener from the bypass by unclipping the o-rings and slid the 'new' one into place.

The pipes were at the exact same height, orientation, etc. And the unit fit perfectly in the space. Took me all of ten minutes!

I do have a question about the new unit though. Immediately after turning the watermain back on you could feel the difference in the water hardness from the taps. However, I noticed a lot of yellow water in the salt tank.
