Introduction:
pureWash is an environmentally friendly appliance designed to work with your residential
washing machine, adding enhanced oxygen and Photo Catalytic Oxidizers to the cold water
supply. Water treated by pureWash aids in cleaning laundry and killing bacteria without
leaving residual detergent in the fabric. Many people nd they are allergic to detergents used
in washers and the detergents create an environmental problem as they are dispersed into the
waste water by washers.
e operation of pureWash is easy and convenient. Once your pureWash is properly installed,
you simply operate your washing machine following the manufacturer’s instructions. pureWash
is designed to automatically turn on as soon as the washer demands water for the wash cycle
and again for any rinse cycles. You will be able to see the production of enhanced oxidation
bubbles through the viewing window as it glows blue. When the water stops owing, your
pureWash will automatically turn o.

Warning & Important Info:
Disconnect power before servicing.
Do not mount your pureWash vertically or at any angle. See installation instructions.
(unit is designed to operate horizontally ONLY).
Do not operate the unit with the cover removed.
pureWash is designed for residential use only and is not intended for use in a
commercial or industrial setting.
Water treated by pureWash is intended for laundry ONLY. It is not approved for
drinking or ingesting.
Do not use an extension cord or power adapter other than the one provided with your
pureWash unit.
pureWash is intended for use with COLD WATER ONLY, however the hot water
hose should remain connected to the washer and supply faucet to prevent backow leaks.
To avoid the possibility of water damage (i.e. a hose leak) it is recommended that you
always turn o the water supply valves/faucets when the washing machine is not in use.
Risk of water leaks from ruptured hoses could occur with major water pressure surges.
To maintain pressure seal, maximum inlet water pressure is 75 psi.
Never install the pureWash in areas where water may freeze. pureWash will always
maintain some water in the unit and freezing can cause damage to internal components.
pureWash is not recommended for use in homes with high iron content in their water.
If your water has high iron content, consult a water quality expert for available options.
Your pureWash can be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. Do not clean your pureWash
with harsh chemicals, abrasives or cleaners.
Before using, please read this Owner’s Manual carefully.

Installation Requirements:
Electrical Requirements:
• pureWash requires 120 Volt 60 Hz power on a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
• Never use an extension cord or a power adapter other than the one provided with pureWash.
Water Requirements:
• Water pressure of 40 to 75 psi is required for pureWash to operate correctly and safely.
• To avoid the possibility of water damage (i.e. a hose leak) it is recommended that you
always turn o the water supply valves/faucets when the washing machine is not in use.
• Water quality may aect the performance of your pureWash. If you have water quality
concerns, such as high iron content, consult a water ltration expert.
• Some later model high-eciency washing machines require water from both the cold and
hot water supplies even if a cold water cycle is selected. In this case, a Y-valve will connect
both the cold and hot water hoses from the pureWash outlet hose to the washing machine.
Location Requirements:
• Never install the pureWash in areas where water may freeze. pureWash will always
maintain some water in the unit and freezing can cause damage to internal components.
Prior to Installation:
1. Remove your pureWash from its packaging and inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Turn o the hot and cold water supplies/faucets to your washing machine.
3. Remove the cold water hose from the cold water faucet.

Installation:
1. e pureWash should be fastened to the wall, just above and behind your washing
machine. It is recommended that the mounting hole on the right side of the pureWash
(above the water inlet/outlet) be mounted to a wall stud, if possible. Two sets of
mounting screws are included. If it is not possible to mount the pureWash to wall studs,
you should use “molly” type expandable screw anchors, available at your local hardware
store. For any other type of mounting scenarios (concrete block, etc.) please consult
your local hardware store for assistance.
2. Remove the cover from your pureWash unit by pressing the tabs on the sides in, lifting
up one inch and then straight out, moving the cover directly away from the unit. Use
the Quickstart Guide to determine spacing and placement of the mounting holes on the
wall. Using a carpenter’s level to ensure the unit is mounted level and mark the location
of the two mounting holes on the wall with a pencil. Drill appropriately sized holes
for the screws or anchors in each marked location. Install the two screws, leaving them
protruding from the wall by about ¼ inch.
3. Place your pureWash against the wall so that the protruding screws slip through the
mounting “keyholes” of the unit. Gently slide the unit down into the lock position
of the keyholes. You can now tighten the screws against the housing of the unit. DO
NOT overtighten as it may cause damage to the back of the unit.
4. Connect the cold water hose from your washer to the water outlet on the your pureWash.
Check that the rubber washer in the hose is in place and properly tighten the hose, but
DO NOT overtighten. Use a wrench to hold the hose bib secure while tightening the hose
connection.
5. With the supplied hose, connect the water inlet on the pureWash to the cold water
supply faucet. Make sure rubber washers are in place and properly tighten, but DO
NOT overtighten. Again, use a wrench to hold the hose bib secure on the pureWash
while tightening.
6. Replace the cover on your pureWash by placing it one inch over the tabs and sliding it
down until it locks.

7
Installation Cont:
7. Plug the power adapter into the DC adapter plug-in on the left side of your pureWash
and then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
8. Ensure all hoses are properly installed and tightened, and that the power supply has
been properly installed. SLOWLY turn the water supply back on and check for any
leaks or drips. Gently tighten ttings if leaks are apparent, but DO NOT overtighten.
CAUTION: e hot water hose should not be disconnected form the washer. You
can turn o the hot water or leave it on, but the hose must be installed to the washing
machine to prevent backow of water out of the washing machine during use.
Indicators and Alarms:
Indicator Light
• e indicator light, viewed through the window on the front of your pureWash has two
states of operation.
• A blue light indicates the normal operation of the pureWash.
• A ashing red light indicates the fan or oxidizer generator is not operating properly. Please
contact your distributor for service.
Alarm
• Your pureWash unit is equipped with an internal leak detector. If a leak happens to
develop inside the unit, water will accumulate on the bottom panel. e sensor will set
o an audible alarm and continue to sound until the leak is stopped and/or the unit is
unplugged. If this alarm should occur, you should unplug the unit, turn o the cold
water valve and call your distributor for assistance.

Using your pureWash:
Daily Use
Using pureWash is very easy. You simply operate your washing machine according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer. e only dierence is that you ONLY use the cold
water setting on your washer. If hot water is used it dilutes and defeats the eectiveness of the
enhanced and Photo Catalytic Oxidizers that the pureWash has introduced into the wash water.
Top-Load Washing Machines
When using pureWash with a top-loading washing machine, ensure that a bold or dark-colored
clothing item is not in the direct line of the pouring water. It is recommended to place a white
clothing item directly under the pour stream to absorb the initially high concentration of oxidizers.
Non-Use or Vacation Care
Operate your washer and pureWash only when you are at home. If you are on vacation or won’t
be using your washer for an extended period of time, you should unplug the power supplies
to both the washer and pureWash and turn o the water supply. is helps avoid accidental
ooding due to a water pressure surge while you are away.
Stains
We suggest that you pre-treat stains just as you would without a pureWash. However, for
normally soiled laundry, you should only need a very small amount of detergent or none at all.
How to tell pureWash is Working
You can easily tell if pureWash is operating properly by viewing the water as it ows through
the clear tube behind the window on the unit. Bubbles should be visible in the water as it ows
through and the window should emit a blue glow. If you do not see bubbles, please ensure that
you have the proper unit for your washing machine. High-eciency or front load washers should
use Eciency pureWash, but standard-eciency top-loading washers should use Standard
pureWash. If the Standard pureWash is used on a high-eciency washer, there will be no bubbles
and you will not experience the benets of using pureWash.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Do tough stains have to be pretreated?
We recommend that you continue to treat stains in the same manner as you did before.
However, for normally soiled laundry, using pureWash will allow you to use less detergent or no
detergent at all.
2. Does pureWash work with all types of water?
pureWash will work with all typical household water qualities, but the better the quality of the
water the better results you will have. If you have hard water, we recommend a water softener
and the removal of chlorine will improve the unit’s performance.
3. Is a pre-lter required?
pureWash does not require a pre-lter, though we do recommend the use of one in all
applications. If your water does have high iron content we suggest the use of a pre-lter
specically designed to remove iron.
4. What types of washing machines can work with pureWash?
pureWash can be used with almost any residential washing machine. ere are however two
separate models of the pureWash. Standard pureWash is designed for standard-eciency top-
load washers that have no restriction in their cold water intake. Eciency pureWash is designed
for front-load washing machines or those that have a restriction in their cold water intake.
Eciency models can be used with standard top-loading washers, however, the restricted
water ow requires more time to ll the basin and, in some cases, may result in an unwanted
bleaching eect to dyed fabrics.
5. Will pureWash work with Commercial Washing Machines?
pureWash is designed and recommended for residential use only, not for commercial or
industrial applications.
6. Is pureWash only for use with washing machines?
pureWash was designed to treat laundry water specically. ere are other appropriate
applications such as cleaning oors or bathing pets but the water from the pureWash is not
intended for drinking or ingesting.
7. What parts will need to be replaced on the pureWash?
pureWash is designed to provide many years of maintenance free service and has no consumable
parts that will need replacing. If, after some time, you notice a decline in the eectiveness of
pureWash, please contact your distributor for service. Any pre-lters that might be used in
conjunction with your pureWash will need to be replaced according to the time/use schedule
their manufacturer recommends.

Troubleshooting:
1. Unit fails to turn on.
Hose or power connection problem.
Check the power cables for secure connection and make sure the hoses to your
pureWash are connected to the correct inlet/outlet.
2. Alarm sounding.
Condensation or a leak has pooled water along the bottom of the pureWash.
Remove the Power Cord and cover of your pureWash. Clean any standing water and
dry the sensor on the bottom panel with alcohol. If the problem persists contact your
distributor or GreenTech Environmental.
3. Flashing red light.
Oxidizing Module has failed.
Contact your distributor or GreenTech Environmental for replacement.
4. No ozone smell in laundry.
Check the viewing glass for bubbles as it may be producing ozone but not injecting it
into the water correctly. If bubbles are present, the Oxidizing Module may have failed.
Contact your distributor or GreenTech Environmental for replacement.
5. No bubbles are being created.
Incorrect pressure before/after Venturi or Venturi is plugged.
First check for obstruction between the pureWash and the washer (inlet screen to
washer). Ensure house pressure at the supply valve has minimum of 40psi. If this
fails to correct the problem then backush your unit by switching the hoses on the
pureWash inlet/outlet and place the inlet hose into the basin or bucket to drain to
clear the Venturi. en return hoses to proper connections.

Troubleshooting Cont:
6. Light remains on after unit has nished its cycle.
Flow Switch is stuck.
Remove the Power Cord and cover of your pureWash then tap the right side of the
pureWash vertical plumbing, where the wiring is attached to the Flow Switch to
release the switch. If this does not work, insert a pencil or item of similar shape into
the pureWash’s inlet to free the ow switch. If the problem persists, contact your
distributor or GreenTech Environmental.
7. Clothes are being bleached.
Incorrect pureWash model or Venturi part.
Contact your distributor or GreenTech Environmental for replacement.
8. Suds in the basin after rst uses.
Detergent or residue is being cleaned out.
Run multiple washes without clothing until the problem is resolved. If problem
persists contact your distributor or GreenTech Environmental.
9. Discoloration occurs in the viewing tube.
High Tannin levels in your water source.
e use of a pre-lter is required. Contact local water specialist to nd proper lter
to remove Tannins.
10. Clothes have a rusty colored stain to them.
High Iron levels in your water source.
Do not dry or bleach the clothes as it will worsen the eects. Re-wash them in
a clean water source before drying. e use of our pre-lter (page 16) or an Iron
specic pre-lter is required.

Notes

To purchase a pre-filter, contact your pureWash retailer,
visit www.pureWashPreFilter.com or call 423-207-0235.
In order for your pureWash to perform
most effectively, water quality issues
must be addressed. Installing a pre-filter
is recommended to treat mild water quality
issues, as unfiltered impurities in the water
supply can potentially interact with the
oxidizers produced by pureWash thereby
hindering your pureWash’s performance.
Our pre-filter is a 2-stage KDF 55 and Granular
Activated Carbon (GAC) filter. This filter covers
most water quality issues such as high chlorine
content and high iron content, but there may be
some circumstances in which additional water
treatment is needed.
Contact your water supplier, local government
office or a local water quality specialist to learn
more about your water quality. For more
information and resources on water quality, visit
