Inlet - Outlet Adaptors 1” NPT male threaded
The EcoPure Automatic Sediment Filter is designed to
be plumbed into a home’s incoming water supply pipe,
where it will capture particles of sediment from the
water and periodically flush them down the drain.
The unit has an electronic control that counts down the
days until the next automatic flush of collected sedi-
ment particles. The number of days is programmable.
The electronic controller runs on a 9 volt battery. The
controller will indicate when the battery needs to be
replaced. An optional AC power adaptor (P/N
7302835) may also be purchased to eliminate the
need for batteries.
Three sizes of filter mesh are available. A 60 micron fil-
ter is included with the ASF unit, and optional 100 or
150 micron filters can also be purchased (see spare
parts list at the end of this manual).
OTE: This product is designed to reduce sand,
grit, debris, pipe scale and other loose matter. On
water supplies that contain sticky sediment includ-
ing mud, silt and clay, you may have to remove
the sump and clean the screen periodically.

ALWAYS I STALL THE FILTER UPRIGHT
To operate properly, the Automatic Sediment Filter
must be installed with the sump pointed straight down.
When possible, install the filter on a horizontal section
of the household’s main incoming water pipe. If the
available incoming main house water pipe runs verti-
cally where you want to install the filter, buy 90° pipe
elbows and plumb a detour, as shown in Figure 4.
Allow enough space under the filter (6” minimum) to
remove the sump (to clean or replace the filter screen).
Allow enough space above the filter to remove the top
cover (to change batteries, etc.), as shown in Figure 4.
REVERSI G THE FACEPLATE / DISPLAY
The Automatic Sediment Filter must be installed with
the water flowing into the side of the filter marked I .
Remove the unit’s top cover and observe the IN and
OUT markings. Depending on the direction of water
flow and the viewing angle, the faceplate may need to
be reversed (turned around to face the opposite direc-
tion) so that it does not end up against a wall or other
obstruction. This can be done either before or after
the filter is installed on the plumbing:
1. Remove the top cover from the ASF by sliding it
upward.
2. With a phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 screws
holding the faceplate assembly to the filter head
(See Figure 5).
3. Lift the faceplate assembly up and turn it around
180°, taking care not to pull on the wires between
the electronic control board and the valve solenoid.
4. Lower the faceplate assembly into place on the
opposite side of the head and reinstall the 2 screws.
5. Slide the top cover back onto the ASF and push it
down to snap into place.
MOU TI G BRACKET
A metal bracket is included with the Automatic
Sediment Filter to support the assembled filter and
plumbing when necessary. It may be mounted to a
wall or wall framing member with 2 screws (included),
as shown in Figure 6.

I stallatio Requireme ts
PLUMBI G CODES
All plumbing must be completed in accordance with
national, state and local plumbing codes.
VALVE DRAI REQUIREME TS
Using the flexible drain hose (included), measure and
cut to the length needed.
=Avoid drain hose runs longer than 10 feet. Make
the valve drain line as short and direct as possible.
=If possible, avoid elevating the drain hose. This
could reduce the effectiveness of the flush cycle,
especially in a low pressure application.
=The drain must be capable of handling a flow of 5
to 10 gallons per minute, depending on the home’s
water pressure.
=The drain must be capable of handling the sediment
being flushed from the filter.

FLOOR DRAI
In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall

for this installation.
AIR GAP REQUIREME TS
A drain is needed for sediment flush discharge water.
A floor drain, close to the Automatic Sediment Filter, is
preferred. A laundry tub, standpipe, etc. are other
drain options. The valve drain hose must be secured
in place, since drain water will be spraying from the
end of the hose at a high rate during flush cycles.
Leave an air gap of 1-1/2” between the end of the
hose and the drain. This gap is needed to prevent
backflow of sewer water into the Automatic Sediment
Filter. Do not put the end of the drain hose into the
drain.

GROU DI G I FORMATIO
(for Installations on Metal Pipe)
The house main incoming water pipe is often
used to ground electrical outlets in the home.
Grounding protects you from electrical shock.
Installing the Automatic Sediment Filter may break
this ground. To restore it, buy and install a #4
copper wire across the filter, tightly clamped at
both ends, as shown below.

A. ATTACH THE ADAPTORS A D CLIPS
TO THE FILTER
1. Insert the adaptors into the holes on each side of
the filter head (See Figure 9).
2. Secure in place with clips. Ensure all three tabs on
the clips go through the matching holes and are fully
in the channels on the adaptor (See Figure 10).
B. CO ECT THE WATER SUPPLY LI ES
IMPORTA T: Do not solder the metal plumbing while
attached to plastic installation adaptors.
Solder heat will damage the adaptors.
1. Seal the inlet and outlet threads on the filter adap-
tors (See Figure 11) with several wraps of sealant
tape.
2. Connect the water supply lines to the inlet and out-
let using 1 in. female NPT threaded adaptors (not
included). Use caution to avoid cross-threading the
adaptors.
C. I STALL THE DRAI HOSE
Do the following before turning the water supply back
on:
1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8
in. drain line (provided) to the Automatic Sediment
Filter’s valve drain fitting (See Figure 8 on Page 7).
Use a hose clamp to hold hose in place.
2. Run the drain hose or copper tubing to the floor
drain. Secure drain hose. This will prevent the
drain line from “whipping'' during sediment flush
cycles. See “Air Gap Requirements" section.
D. CHECK FOR LEAKS
1. With the installation steps completed, fully open the
home’s main water supply valve.
2. Check for leaks at all the plumbing connections you
made.
3. Make sure the electronics are completely dry before
powering the unit up (as described in the next sec-
tion).

onds to complete. The flow of water to the drain will
start and stop several times.
4. Once the sediment flush has been completed, the 2-
digit display will change to show the number of days
until the next automatic flush (or if the automatic
flush feature has been turned off it will show “- -”).
The ASF can be manually activated to flush sediment
at any time, regardless of whether or not it is set to
flush automatically.
ORMAL OPERATIO
During normal operation, the LED will momentarily
blink green every 8 seconds and the 2-digit display
(LCD) will show the number of days remaining until the
next automatic sediment flush. Momentarily pressing
the PROGRAM button shows the setting for the num-
ber of days between flushes.
LCD BACKLIGHT
The 2-digit display has a backlight that goes on when-
ever a button is pressed. It goes off again after 10
seconds if no more buttons have been pressed (to
conserve battery life). Momentarily press either the
PROGRAM or CLEAN NOW button to turn on the
backlight.

The ASF controller is shipped with a default value of 7
days between automatic sediment flushes. To change
the number of days (between 1 and 30) or to turn this
feature off:
1. Press the PROGRAM button and hold it for at least
2 seconds. When the LED turns on steadily with an
amber color, quickly release the PROGRAM button.
2. While the amber LED is on (it turns off after 10 sec-
onds of button inactivity), repeatedly press the PRO-
GRAM button until the desired number of days
shows in the display. Each press increases the
number of days by 1. When the number passes 30,
it returns to zero, indicated by “- -”, and counts up
from 1 again.
3. Setting the number of days to “- -” (zero) turns off
the automatic flush feature.
4. When the desired number of days shows in the dis-
play, wait 10 seconds (press no more buttons) for
the amber LED to go off. The new number of days
is programmed. This new setting will remain after
battery change or power loss.
TIME OF DAY WHE FLUSH OCCURS
The time of day when the automatic sediment flush will
occur is the same time of day as when the most recent
of the following was done:
=The filter was powered up (battery installed or
replaced, optional AC adaptor plugged in).
=The number of days was set
=A manual flush was initiated
If a different time of day is desired for automatic flush,
simply initiate a manual flush (as described on the pre-
vious page) at the desired time of day.
LOW BATTERY I DICATIO

CLEA I G THE FILTER SCREE
It may be necessary to manually clean the filter screen from
time to time. On water supplies that contain sticky sediment
including mud, silt and clay, you may have to remove the
sump and clean the screen frequently. Also, if the ASF has
not been automatically flushing for any reason, such as a
dead battery, a larger amount of sediment than normal may
have accumulated in the sump. In this case it is recom-
mended that the sump and filter be cleaned manually (an
excess amount of sediment could plug the valve).
1. Before shutting off the water supply (as directed in Step
2), run a bucketful or sinkful of water to use for cleaning
the filter screen.
2. Shut off the main house water supply valve upstream from
the Automatic Sediment Filter.
3. Open a cold water faucet in the house (downstream from
the ASF) to depressurize the system. Then close this
faucet again
4. Remove the sump by turning it to the left to unscrew it
from the ASF head (See Figure 18). Be prepared for
water to drip out of the ASF head when the sump is
removed.
5. Remove the filter screen assembly by pulling it down out
of the ASF head (See Figure 19).
6. Using the water you saved in Step 1, wash the filter
screen assembly. If necessary, gently scrub the filter
mesh with a soft brush to remove material from the pores.
7. The drain straw may have come out of the ASF head
when the sump and filter screen were removed. If so,
reinsert it into the small hole at the center of the head
assembly (See Figure 19).
8. Make sure the o-ring is in place on the filter screen
assembly (See Figure 19). Make sure that no sediment
particles are on the o-ring or the corresponding sealing
area in the head. Slide the filter screen over the drain
straw and into the corresponding hole at the center of the
ASF head. Push it in to engage the o-ring seal.
9. Make sure the large o-ring is in place on the sump (See
Figure 19). Make sure no sediment particles are on the o-
ring, sump threads or corresponding threads in the ASF
head. Slide the sump over the filter screen and screw it
into the ASF head to seal. Do not overtighten.
10. Open a cold water faucet in the house downstream from
the ASF.
11. Turn the main house water supply back on.
12. Close the faucet that you opened in Step 10 after air has
been expelled from the system and water is flowing
smoothly with no spurting.
13. Check that there is no water leaking from the sump
threads. Tighten sump if necessary.

Troubleshooti g
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTIO
Sediment flush
does not initiate
1. Battery is dead. Replace battery (See “Battery Replacement” on Page 11).
Low or no water
flow through filter
1. Filter is plugged. Manually clean filter screen (See Page 12). May be necessary to reduce
number of days be tween automatic sediment flushes (See Page 11).
Sediment does
not leave sump
during sediment
flush cycle
1. Valve is plugged. Manually clean filter screen (See Page 12). After water has been turned
back on, initiate another clean cycle (hold CLEAN NOW button for 2
sec.). Repeat if necessary. If caused by too great a volume of sediment,
may be necessary to reduce number of days be tween automatic sedi-
ment flushes (See Page 11). If this does not clear plugged valve, it may
be necessary to disassemble valve and clean manually (See
“Disassembly of Valve,” below).
2. Drain hose is plugged. Disconnect drain hose, remove obstruction and reconnect.
3. Insufficient water pressure. Make sure water pressure requirement (30 psi minimum) is met. Shorten
drain line.
4. Misapplication of product. See application information (“How the Automatic Sediment Filter Works”)
on Page 5.
Continuous leak
to drain
1. Solenoid seat is dirty. Initiate several clean cycles. If leak continues, then remove valve sole-
noid and clean seat area (See “Disassembly of Solenoid”, below).
2. Valve is plugged or valve
seat is dirty.
Manually clean filter screen (See Page 12). After water has been turned
back on, initiate another clean cycle (hold CLEAN NOW button for 2
sec.). Repeat if necessary. If caused by too great a volume of sediment,
may be necessary to reduce number of days be tween automatic sedi-
ment flushes (See Page 11). If this does not clear plugged valve, it may
be necessary to disassemble valve and clean manually (See “Dis -
assembly of Valve,” below).
DISASSEMBLY OF SOLE OID
(See Exploded View on Page 14)
If the troubleshooting table, above, indicates that the sole-
noid seat requires cleaning, use the following procedure:
1. Before shutting off the water supply (as directed in Step
2), run a bucketful or sinkful of water to use for cleaning.
2. Shut off the main house water supply valve upstream from
the Automatic Sediment Filter.
3. Open a cold water faucet in the house (downstream from
the ASF) to depressurize the system. Close faucet again.
4. Remove the solenoid ( ey No. 6 on Page 14) by unscrew-
ing it from the top of the valve.
5. Using the water you saved in Step 1, clean the solenoid
seat, plunger and hole.
6. Make sure the o-ring ( ey No. 7) is in place and reinstall
the solenoid, being careful not to cross-thread.
7. Open a cold water faucet downstream from the ASF.
8. Turn the main house water supply back on.
9. Close the faucet that you opened in Step 7 after air has
been expelled from the system.
10. Check that there is no water leaking from the solenoid
thread area. Tighten solenoid if necessary.
DISASSEMBLY OF VALVE
(See Exploded View on Page 14)
If the troubleshooting table, above, indicates that the valve
requires cleaning, use the following procedure:
1. Before shutting off the water supply (as directed in Step
2), run a bucketful or sinkful of water to use for cleaning.
2. Shut off the main house water supply valve upstream from
the Automatic Sediment Filter.
3. Open a cold water faucet in the house (downstream from
the ASF) to depressurize the system. Close faucet again.
4. Remove the six screws ( ey No. 8 on Page 14) from the
top of the valve and lift off the valve cover ( ey No. 9).
5. Using the water you saved in Step 1, clean the diaphragm
ey No. 12) and seat area of valve body ( ey No. 13).
6. Make sure the two small holes in the valve body under the
diaphragm are not plugged.
7. Reassemble the valve, making sure the diaphragm is right
side up (small knob at center points up) and the other
components are properly placed, as shown on Page 14.
8. Open a cold water faucet downstream from the ASF.
9. Turn the main house water supply back on.
10. Close the faucet that you opened in Step 8 after air has
been expelled from the system.
11. Check that there is no water leaking from the valve seal-
ing area. Tighten screws if necessary.
