How our ecoPLUS™ EP-1000-UV Works

The heart of our ecoPLUS™ EP-1000-UV premium water treatment system is our ecoPLUS™ treatment tank which contains an optimal blend of water treatment media for wide-spectrum contaminant removal. To this, we add a brand-name ultraviolet (UV) light sterilizer which disinfects the water to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microbiological contaminants that can cause illness.

	The first step of our ecoPLUS™ system is a true high capacity, multi-gradient sediment filter. It is like having 4 sediment filters in one! The filter cartridge has 4 layers that provide progressively finer filtration down to 5 microns. Our filter has far higher capacity than our competitors, thereby reducing the frequency that you have to change filters and saving you money. Our pre-filter also provides better flow rates and less pressure loss!
	A proper gravel underbed distributes water flow evenly to prevent channeling in the filtration media.
	KDF-55 Media - a generous layer of KDF-55, a patented zinc/copper redox media that removes or reduces a wide range of contaminants including chlorine, as well as water soluble heavy metals such as lead, copper, mercury, and chromium. KDF-55 extends the life of the activated carbon media and has a bacteriostatic effect that reduces the risk of bacterial, algae, and fungal fouling.
	Brand-name, Calgon coconut shell activated carbon for the removal of chlorine, disinfection by-products, a wide range of volatile organic compounds (such as pesticides, herbicides, and chemical residuals), as well as a host of other contaminants that adversely affect the taste and smell of your water.
	True Centaur catalytic activated carbon to extend media life and enhance removal of chloramine, organics, and an even wider range of contaminants that impact the taste and smell of your water.
	Freeboard provides expansion room for the water filtration media during upflow service.
	A high-output UV lamp generates 254 nm UV "C" rays that destroy the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, rendering them harmless without adding anything to the water or changing its taste. Simply safer water for you and your family!
	Our superior UV controller features a large full-color LCD screen that provides an intuitive interface to access information about remaining lamp life, as well as quick reference instructions for lamp replacement, maintenance, and troubleshooting, and a replacement parts listing. Everything you need at your finger tips! Multi-language support (English, Spanish, and French).

The result is fresh, great tasting water at every tap, silky soft skin and hair when you bathe and shower, and greater assurance of water safety.

The water flow path through our ecoPLUS™ system is upflow. This prevents clogging and eliminates the risk of channeling, a phenomenon that reduces the contact time between the media and the contaminants that negatively impacts performance of many downflow systems.

The media bed in the ecoPLUS™ EP-1000-UV is designed to provide effective chlorine reduction over a life of 1,000,000 gallons or 5 years, after which the media in the tank can be replaced in about half an hour without any plumbing knowledge or special experience - anyone can do it. The current market leader in premium whole house filter systems suggests that this process is difficult - they just want to convince you to buy their expensive replacement tanks. Replacing the media in our tanks is not only easier and far more economical, it is better for the environment too.

Our ecoPLUS™ EP-1000-UV is equipped with an ultraviolet light (UV) sterilizer to disinfect your water of bacteria, viruses, and other illness-causing microogranisms. UV disinfection is safe, effective, economical, and best of all, does not add undesirable chemicals to your water like chlorine or chloramine.

The UV sterilizer uses a high-output UV lamp to generate 254nm UV "C" rays that destroy the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens rendering them harmless. Simply safer water for you and your family!

The UV system is designed for very low maintenance operation. The system will provide an automatic reminder when it is time to replace the UV lamp - once per year. The large color LCD screen provides a countdown of the remaining lamp life as well as a range of information to help you maintain your system. No tools are required for lamp replacement. The replacement can be done in about 5 minutes - it's just that easy.

Installation & Owners Manual

Installation / Manuals

We have designed our ecoPLUS™ systems for ease of installation. Unlike our competitors (who make you pay extra for a convenient installation kit) we offer a premium installation kit at no extra cost. Our installation kits use flexible stainless steel pipes and quick-connect style connectors and fittings to attach the treatment system to your plumbing pipe and to connect the various system components to each other. Connects to PEX, copper, and CPVC pipe in seconds with no special tools or plumbing knowledge required. Additionally, all of our installation fittings are NSF/ANSI Standard 61 validated so you can be assured of their material safety for potable water applications.

If you can connect a garden hose to a hose bib, you can assemble our systems! It is just that easy!

Our convenient installation kit reduces installation time and cost.

We recommend that ecoPLUS™ systems be installed by a licensed plumber; however, your warranty is valid as long as your system is installed in accordance with local plumbing codes and the Owner's Manual.

ecoPLUS™ EP-1000-UV Premium Whole House Water Filter Customer Questions & Answers

Question:	What are the volumes or masses of the various media in the EP-1000?
Answer(s):	The EP-1000 is made up of 22.8 lbs of KDF-55 Media, 1.1 cubic feet of Calgon coconut shell activated carbon, and 0.4 cubic feet of Centaur catalytic activated carbon. By HomePlus Water on Sep 12, 2023

Question:	Annual replacement filter requirements and costs of filters for eco pls hard water sysrem
Answer(s):	The prefilter (Hydronix SDC-45-2005) is typically replaced every 9 - 12 months. The EcoPlus media is typically replaced every 5 years. The EcoTac media (Scale Stop) is also typically replaced every 5 years. It requires 5 liters of it. By HomePlus Water on Dec 19, 2023

Question:	Does the system reduce water pressure?
Answer(s):	Yes, like any filter with a cartridge or tank the ecoPlus EP-1000-TAC Premium Whole House Water Filter System will slightly reduce pressure. It is typically only a few PSI at typical service flow rates. By HomePlus Water on Jun 24, 2024

Question:

Does the system remove PFAS?

Answer(s):

Activated carbon like that found in the first tank of the EP-1000-TAC has been shown to remove PFAS from water, but the system as a whole has not been tested or certified for the remove PFAS. If used for PFAS removal the media will have a shorter lifespan than if it was used primarily for chlorine reduction. If you are looking for a system for PFAS removal we'd recommend the Enpress Pioneer. It is certified for PFAS removal, has a filter life monitor, and is also a great multi-purpose filter. By HomePlus Water on Jun 24, 2024
