Key Procedures for Ensuring Optimal Performance and Safety of the eWater Reticulated System
Introduction
The eWater Reticulated System (Model: ROX60) is designed to deliver efficient and effective cleaning and sanitising solutions on demand.
This system produces electrolysed water that is stored in tanks and pumped to various dispensers and outlets throughout a facility, ensuring optimal operational efficiency. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the daily operation procedures for the eWater system, ensuring it performs optimally and safely.

Product Overview
The Reticulated system is a versatile and powerful solution that integrates seamlessly into various operational areas such as hand wash basins, prep sinks, pot wash, cleaner sinks, and bin areas.
It features oversink outlet assemblies and automatic hands free handwash stations, which ensure the delivery of eWater solutions wherever needed. The system is designed to be user-friendly and environmentally friendly, promoting a cleaner, safer environment.
Start-Up Procedures
- Power On:
Ensure the unit is plugged in and turn on the power switch (earth leakage circuit breaker) - Water Supply:
Open the water supply line shut-off valve to allow water flow into the system. - Salt Level Check:
Open the salt chute door to check the salt level in the saltwater tank. Add eWater electrolyser salt as needed. Need to replenish your salt supplies? Purchase online
Plant Operation
- Dispensing Electrolysed Water:
Press the ON/OFF switch on the operation panel. The operation lamp will light up, and the ready lamp will start flashing, indicating the unit is preparing electrolysed water. Once the ready lamp stays on continuously, the electrolysed water is ready for use. - Flow Rate Adjustment:
Adjust the flow rate using the flow rate button on the control panel as needed.
Outlet Operation
eWater Reticulated Systems work with two types of reticulated outlets. The first type is an Oversink Flexi faucet. The second is the Auto Handwash Dispenser.
- Oversink Flexi Faucet:
The assemblies are faucet sets complete with valves and mounting plates, serving as the primary oversink outlet faucets for using eWater solutions within the kitchen design to ensure optimal operational efficiency. To use, simple turn the valve of the solution you wish to use.
- Auto Handwash Dispenser:
The automatic hands free handwash unit dispenses eWater Cleaner followed by eWater Sanitiser, with LED illumination to differentiate between the two. The timing can be adjusted to suit operators.
The hand wash units can be set to automatic or manual modes and are fully adjustable. To use:
- Ensure the hand wash unit has power. If not, seek assistance from your maintenance team or contact our support team. All outlet points should have inspection panels adjacent to the outlet. You will find the power adaptor inside this panel.
- To activate the hand wash, wave your hand near the left or right-hand side of the unit to activate the sensor.
- Place hands under the solution to wash. The unit will automatically dispense on a preset timer e.g. 6 seconds cleaner, 6 seconds sanitiser.
- To adjust the timer, refer to this article. [INSERT LINK]
Daily Testing
The system should be tested daily to ensure it is producing solution with the specified parameters. Use pH and chlorine test strips or meters to check the sanitising and cleaning water from either the AY or VDW Auto Handwash outlets. Record these levels in the eWater Daily Record Sheet.
Review this article to learn how to complete pH and Chlorine testing.
Maintenance and Inspection
- Filter and Tank Cleaning:
Periodically check and clean the saltwater tank and filter net to remove any salt grains or dirt. Refill with salt after cleaning. - Check for Leaks:
Inspect the unit and surrounding area for any water leaks. If leaks are found, contact the eWater Support Team for assistance. - Electrolytic Cell Monitoring:
Check the 'replace cell' lamp on the operation panel. The electrolytic cell needs replacement every 3,000 hours of operation to ensure effective performance. - Reverse Flush:
Conduct a reverse flush as part of quarterly maintenance to ensure the system remains free from blockages and operates efficiently. Refer to the manufacturer Instruction Manual or contact us at service@ewatersystems.com for detailed instructions on how to complete a reverse flush.
Planned Maintenance
We recommend that eWater Reticulated Systems undergo biannual planned maintenance to ensure the longevity and continuous operation of the system.
eWater Planned Maintenance programs have been designed to ensure regulatory compliance while safeguarding your investment and business operations with regular and routine service checks of your system.
Shut Down Procedures
- Daily Shutdown: Press the ON/OFF switch on the operation panel to stop the unit. The ready lamp will flash before the unit stops dispensing water. This procedure ensures the system flushes out before shutting down completely.
- Long-Term Storage: If the unit will be unused for more than a week, follow the long storage preparation procedures to drain and clean the system, preventing bacterial growth and maintaining system integrity.
Refer to your eWater reticulated Operator Instructions for more detail on shut down procedures or contact us at service@ewatersystems.com.
