Unpacking & Inspection
Basic Guidelines
Be sure to inspect the entire shipment immediately upon receipt for any shipping damage or parts
loss. Also note any damage to the shipping carton. Contact the transportation company for all
damages and loss claims. EasyWater is not responsible for damages in transit.
»Before you begin installation, read the entire manual.
»CHECK LOCAL PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL CODES. THE INSTALLATION MUST
CONFORM TO STATED CODES.
»Use only lead-free solder and ux for all sweat-solder connections, as required by state and
federal codes.
»Use care when handling the lter. Do not drop or set on sharp objects.
»Do not locate the system where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water that
is over 120°F. FREEZE DAMAGE OR HOT WATER DAMAGE VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
»If installing outdoors, protect from direct sunlight. Excessive sun and heat may cause distortion
or other damage to non-metallic parts.
»While the electronic components, protect the lter if installing it outdoors where water damage
can occur.
»Unplug the lter from electrical power before servicing the lter or removing the outer valve
cover. Complete maintenance or repairs and replace covers before plugging into the power
outlet again.
»The lter works on 120V – 60 Hz electrical power only. MAKE SURE THE FILTER IS PLUGGED
INTO AN OUTLET WITH CONTINUOUS POWER.

Before Starting Installation
WHERE TO INSTALL THE FILTER
»Place the lter as close to the incoming water line as possible. On municipal applications, this
would be as close to the water meter as possible. If you desire to bypass outdoor faucets,
install or plumb as necessary (this will also conserve water and lter capacity).
»Connect the lter to the main water line before (ahead of) the water heater. Do not run hot water
through the lter. Temperature of water passing through the lter must be less than 120°F.
»Place the lter as close as possible to a oor drain, or other acceptable drain point.
»Place the lter in an area where water damage is least likely to occur if a leak develops. The
manufacturer will not repair or pay for water damage.
»Do not install the lter in an area where it could freeze. Freeze damage is not covered by the
warranty.
»A 120 volt electric outlet is required to plug in the lter controller. The lter comes with a 24 volt
transformer with a 10 foot power cord. This connection must meet local electrical codes.
»Keep the lter out of direct sunlight, as excessive sun and heat can distort any not-metallic
parts.
TOOLS, PIPE, FITTINGS & OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED
»A minimum pipe size of ¾” should be used to connect to the lter valve. Pipe size of 1” or larger
can be connected to the valve.
»Use copper, brass, CPVC or Pex plastic pipe ttings. Always follow local plumbing codes.
»A bypass valve is already installed on the lter. The bypass valve allows you turn off water to the
lter for maintenance, while still allowing water to ow into the house.
»A 1” bypass valve and a 1” drain are provided. The drain must have an air gap. The end of the
drain must be secured in place.
»If a solid drain line is needed to comply with local plumbing codes, you can purchase locally the
parts needed to connect to drain.

5Toxin Shield+ |Installation & Service Manual
Before Starting Installation (Cont’d)
PLAN HOW YOU WILL INSTALL THE FILTER
»You must rst decide how to run in and out pipes to the lter. Look at the house main water
pipe at the point where you will connect the lter. Is the pipe soldered copper, glued plastic or
threaded brass/galvanized? What is the pipe size?
»Determine the direction of the water ow in the home, then turn off incoming water supply valve.
Plumb the incoming water line into the bypass valve side marked “IN”. Plumb the line leaving
the lter into the bypass valve side marked “OUT”.
PRODUCT INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Unless special equipment is available to mechanically torque
the valve to the tank, please follow the steps below:
1) Hand spin the valve onto the tank, ensuring the threads
are not cross-threaded. Note: All Fleck valves are right-
hand threads, or clockwise, to install.
2) Rotate the valve freely without using force until it comes to a
stop (this position is considered zero).
3) Rotate valve clockwise from zero to between ¼ turn and ½
turn (see diagram to the right).

INSTALLING VALVE HEAD ON TANK
DO NOT exceed 25 ft lbs of torque when installing this
product. Exceeding this limit may damage the threads
and cause failure.
Note: Do NOT use the drain connector to tighten the valve on the tank. This can break the
drain connection or crack the valve.

Setting the Controller
The EasyWater Toxin Shield+ uses an electronic controller to manage the valve head, regeneration
and backwash processes.
When the unit is in the “Service” position (the unit is providing treated water) the display will
alternate showing the current time of day and the days between regeneration. The regeneration
cycle is preset to occur at 12:30 AM every seventh day. The timing and frequency of regeneration
can be modied as required.
Normal duration for the regeneration cycle is approximately 16 minutes.
1) Backwash = 15 minutes. Water ow is reversed inside the unit to lift the lter media, rinsing
contaminants and sediment from the lter bed.
2) Fast Rinse = 1 minute. This packs the bed, readying the system to begin ltering water again.
3) The system then returns to the “Service” position.
Untreated water is available during the regeneration cycle. It is important that no other water
treatment lter regenerates at the same time. Regeneration of multiple lters should be staggered
in two hour increments.
Follow the regeneration schedule instructions. Do not set the regeneration frequency longer than 7
days, as this risks fouling the lter media and can make the unit inoperable over a period of time.

Setting the Controller (Cont’d)
SETTING THE CURRENT TIME OF DAY
This method is also used to reset correct time of day in the event of a power outage lasting over
48 hours.
a. Press CLOCK button.
b. Press Up or Down button until the display shows the current hour. Scroll past 12 to
toggle to PM.
c. Press NEXT button.
d. Press UP or Down button until the display shows the current minutes.
e. Press the NEXT button to exit and resume normal operation.
SCHEDULING AN EXTRA REGENERATION TONIGHT
This will give your lter full capacity should you expect much higher than normal water usage
tomorrow.
a. Press the REGEN button.
b. The words “Regen Today” will ash on the display to indicate that the system will
regenerate tonight at the normal set time (typically 12:30am).
SCHEDULING A REGENERATION IMMEDIATELY
Water conditions uctuate, as does water usage. If you begin getting iron or manganese staining
or H2S odor in your home, typically due to higher than normal water usage, you may choose to
regenerate lter immediately.
NOTE: If you use water during the 61-81 minute regeneration period the water will be untreated by
the EasyWater Toxin Shield+.
a. Press and hold the REGEN button for three seconds. Open two faucets inside the home.

8Toxin Shield+ |Installation & Service Manual
System Start-Up (After installation is complete)
1) Open two faucets inside the home.
2) Turn the bypass valve into the service position.
3) Fill the lter with water by turning on the water service valve SLOWLY.
4) Close the two open faucets inside the home.
5) Check installation for leaks.
6) Backwash the unit until water runs clear.
7) Press and Hold the REGEN button for 5 seconds to initiate an immediate regeneration.
8) Let homeowner know the system will be regenerating for the next 16 minutes. During this time
they will have water to the home, but it will be untreated until regeneration is complete.
