Ispring 123Filter Electronic Water Conditioner ED2000 Introduction

The revolutionary environmental technology that conditions hard water and reduces scale build-up. It is chemical-free, thus environmentally friendly. It is easy to install and effectively reduces scale build-up in plumbing, nozzles, valves, and home appliances. To gain the most benefit and make this chemical-free solution complete, it is ideal to use it with an Iron-reducing Whole House Filter, Shower Filter, and Undersink Water Filter. The total cost is about the same or even less than a Salt-based Water Softener.

TESTING FOR HARDNESS AND IRON LEVELS

The hardness and iron levels can significantly impact the operation of ED2000. It’s extremely important to understand the hardness and mineral level of the water before installing a water conditioning system. Minerals and hardness of the water impact the time required to change the characteristics of the lime scale. The best way to find out the mineral level and hardness in your water is to connect with your local health authority or to take help from a water testing service.

IRON CONCENTRATION

High iron levels (insoluble and soluble) in water can deteriorate and degrade the operation of ED2000’s electrical field, decreasing its efficiency on reducing scale. Under such circumstances, it’s recommended to use an iron removal system to remove the iron prior to using ED2000. If iron levels are above 0.3 ppm (parts per million), an iron removal system should always be used.

WATER HARDNESS

Definition of hardness: (Taken from the 1992 edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater) “Originally, water hardness was understood to be a measure of the capacity of water to precipitate soap. Soap is precipitated chiefly by the calcium and magnesium ions present. Other polyvalent cations also may precipitate soap, but they often are in complex forms, frequently with organic constituents, and their role in water hardness may be minimal and difficult to define. In conformity with current practice, total hardness is defined as the sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations, both expressed as calcium carbonate, in milligrams per liter.” Currently, the water hardness is determined by the concentration of magnesium and calcium in the water.

A traditional water softener eliminates the magnesium and calcium from the water using a process known as “Ion Exchange.” Water treated with traditional softeners will demonstrate a change in hardness as per the present practice of computing water hardness. ED2000 does not remove any calcium or magnesium ions from the water; therefore, testing the water before and after the installation of the ED2000 will not show any change in the water hardness as per the traditional methods. The effects of the ED2000 can be determined by observing the changes in the treated water on scale-forming areas such as showerhead scaling, humidifier media pad scaling, scaling on cooking utensils, and the quantity of soap needed for the laundry.

The table below defines the water hardness as per the Water Quality Association. You can use this table as a reference to determine the hardness of your water, once the water test results are received. ED2000 works effectively on water with a hardness level of 425 ppm or 25 gpg. For hardness levels above 425 ppm, it is recommended to use the ED2000 in conjunction with a traditional water softener to remove hardness and condition the water. This will minimize the salt required to eliminate the hardness and will sustain the cost-saving benefits of the ED2000 water-conditioning system.

OBSERVATION TIMETABLE

The following timetable can be observed for performance evaluation of ED2000 for the first 90 days.

• Day 1: On day 1, you can observe that the soap lathers more easily and more effectively as the ED2000 action instantly begins to slacken prevailing scale in the cold and hot water systems.
• After 1 week: Breaking down scale on water pipes, water heater elements (immersion rod heaters), and tanks. You may observe some small particles in the water coming from the hot water tap, although most of the broken-down particles will be microscopic and can’t be observed by the naked eye.
• After 2 weeks: Loosening of scale on showerheads, faucets, and kettles can be observed. Wiping plastic, ceramic, metal, and glass surfaces becomes much easier. Soap and detergent required for bathing, cleaning, and laundering are significantly reduced.
• After 1 month: With the loosening of scale from the water heating system, it should take less time for heating the water. The amount of scale on pipes, faucets, and showerheads should be significantly reduced.
• After 3 months: Disappearance of scale from showerheads. Scaly crust in toilets is significantly reduced. No new crust should form. Depending upon the age of scaling and hardness of water, it may take up to 12 weeks for these effects to appear.

Please note: The ED2000 is NOT a water softener and does not REMOVE calcium or magnesium from the water.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THE ED2000

The ED2000 should be applied on the main water supply pipe through which water enters the building. This will optimize the operation of ED2000 and will ensure that the system conditions all of the water supplied to the building. If a water meter or grounding cable is used, it’s recommended to install the ED2000 after the water meter or grounding cable is attached to the plumbing system. The ED2000 can be used effectively on any type of water pipe; galvanized, copper, or plastic. ED2000 should be installed at least ten feet from any TV, radio, cordless telephone, or any other electronic system to minimize possible interference.

HOW TO INSTALL THE ED2000

• STEP 1: WRAP THE COILS Wrap the left antenna from center to left, starting under the water pipe. Wrap the right antenna from center to right, starting over the water pipe. This way ensures two coils are formed into continuous counter-clockwise circles against the water flow. Each coil is long enough to wrap at least 12 rounds on a 3/4-inch pipe. A minimum of 7 rounds is required, the more the better. Secure the wrappings with included cable ties.
• STEP 2: MOUNT THE UNIT ON THE WALL Mount or hang the ED2000 on the wall using screws. For convenience, it could also be tied to the water pipe using cable ties.
• STEP 3: PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER The LED lights should start flashing sequentially and indicate that the ED2000 is functioning properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

POWER SURGES AND LOCK UPS 

The ED2000 water conditioner is designed to operate without any interruption, providing years of enhanced water quality. If your water quality seems to have changed, check the items below to determine that your ED2000 unit is functioning correctly. To reset the ED2000, simply switch off the unit, wait for some time, and switch on the power supply. If you are residing in an area where power surges are frequent, it is recommended to install a surge protector on the electrical outlet that the ED2000 transformer is plugged into.

LOOSE ANTENNA WIRES 

The antenna wires must be held tightly against the pipe, and the coils must be pressed snugly against each other to transfer the energy into the water. If the antenna wires are loose, tighten them and also retighten the wire ties. Make sure that the antennas are wrapped in the correct direction.
