EcoFlush B8104 - Tank system provides the means of saving water and money by providing
the highest performance capability available today in the High Efficiency Toilet (HET) category.
This means that you may use the 1.1 gallon/4 liters of water per flush to discharge both liquid and
solid waste. The Patent Pending Design of the EcoFlush B8104 offers superior cleaning and
flushing performance, The performance of the EcoFlush System is enhanced by the induction of
air during the filling cycle of the system. The incoming water draws additional air into the vessel
during the filling cycle. Once fully charged the upper supply valve closes. This contains the
compressed air inside the pressure vessel and creates a powerful air driven piston that drives the
water into the bowl for a highly efficient bowl cleansing flush. The EcoFlush B8104 System
enhances the performance of the jetted toilet bowl that is designed to work with the EcoFlush
System. The combination of design and function offer many unique benefits and features not
currently found in any other pressure assisted systems in the market.

INSTALLATION
Rated as one ofthe quietest pressure assisted flushing systems currently available.
EcoFlush achieves siphon action (the principle necessary to extract waste from a toilet) in
approximately one second.
It will operate on water line pressures as low as 20PSI and as high as 125PSI,
Pressurized flushing action improves drain line carry and virtually eliminates stoppages and
repeated flushing.
. Toilet tanks equipped with EcoFlush will not have condensation, therefore eliminating sweating.
It harnesses the pressure of the incoming water by containing the air pressure in the vessel.
Then when flushed, pressurized water rushes into the bowl for powerful, quiet and quick flush.
. EcoFlush complies with ASSE (American Society of Sanitation Engineers) standard
A1037-90 pressure assisted tank.

CAUTION: When servicing or replacing components to the EcoFlush B8104- Tank System,
make certain that the water supply is turned OFF and the toilet is then flushed to relieve the
internal air and water pressure inside the vessel.
CAUTION: The EcoFlush pressure-assisted flushing system can only be used with bowls that
were specifically designed to accept pressure-actuated tanks. These bowls are referred to as
jetted pressure-assisted toilet bowls.
NEVER use lubricants on any of the components unless otherwise specified in this manual.
NEVER use corrosive disinfectants, bowl liquid or soild Chlorine based cleaners or deodorants

Please follow the toilet manufacturer's instructions that were provided with your new toilet and tank.
You must use the gaskets, washers and nuts provided with the toilet and install the toilet tank onto the
bowl before connecting the water supply line to the water inlet clear the supply line. Do this by run-
ing a couple of gallons of water into a bucket to ensure that the supply is clear of debris. After con-
necting the supply line, check the locking keys on the flush control lines and the upper supply line.
You will notice 3 locking tabs. All the tabs should be locked in place with the tabs pointing upward. Now
slowly turn on the water checking carefully for leaks.
How The EcoFlush System Works
FoF oP
A. EcoFlush water filling B. As water continues to fill, the air C. Air pressure acts as a
above the water is compressed by powerful piston to drive the
rising water in the vessel water from the vessel into
the bowl
After installation check the following:
a. Verify water pressure: The recommended static pressure range by code is 20 PSI to 125 PSI. If
sufficient supply pressure has been verified then:
b. Flush the unit several times to clear any excess air trapped in the vessel.
c. Note: If any problem occurs shut off the water supply and flush to relieve any
water or air pressure remaining in the vessel.
d. Ifthe vessel does not flush, shut off the water supply and remove the connector
ine nut that connects the upper supply assembly and the flush valve cartridge.
Loosening or removal of this line will eliminate the pressure inside the vessel.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
CONDITION 1: No Water Flows Into The Vessel
If the water pressure is below 20 PSI, the unit will not function properly (NOTE: The recommended static
pressure range by code is 20 PSI to 125 PSI). If you cannot increase the water pressure to the required
level the unit will not function properly.
Check the following to make sure that there is no mechanical reason for the
low pressure.
Step 1. Make sure the water supply valve is fully open.
Step 2. Check the Debris Filter Screen for any obstruction that would restrict
«== the water supply pressure. To check the debris screen, shut off the water
~~ supply. flush the toilet to discharge any pressure, then disconnect the supply
line. Remove the debris screen from the threaded connector shank and
flush any debris which might prevent the flow of water through the filter
screen. Replace and turn the water supply on checking for leaks.
Step 3. Check to ensure that there are no kinks in the supply lines or
connector lines between lower and upper supply assemblies, which would
prevent the flow of the water into the system. Also check that there are no
leaks at any of the connections.
Step 4. Check the flush control valve for any leaks and make sure the
connections are also tight. If water is leaking from the flush control valve
then the flush confrol valve should be replaced (EcoFlush Part Number
B8106-06, covered by factory warranty).
Step 5. Check the Flush Valve Cartridge (FVC) for air leaks by pouring a
small amount of water onto the area around the top of the flush valve
cartridge. If air bubbles are visible then you must remove the FVC and
check the flush valve o-ring for damage and to see thatit is properly
positioned in the vessel.
To remove the Flush Valve Cartridge proceed as follows:
Step a. Shut off the water supply and flush the toilet to remove any remaining water or air
pressure before starting the procedure.
Step b. Remove the quick connector line between the Upper Supply
Assembly and the Flush Valve Cartridge by rotating the locking tab downward.
Remove the supply line and set it aside.
Step c. Disconnect the two black flush control lines from the flush valve
cartridge by rotating the locking tabs downward and pull gently outwardly on
the lines. These flush control lines are equipped with locking tabs and the
lines are connected by left line of the flush control to the left port of the FVC
and the right to the right facing port of the FVC.
Step d. Remove the Flush Valve Cartridge (FVC) Assembly using the tool
provided, Using the FVC tool, engage the teeth of the tool with the slots on the
top of the FVC and with the aid of wrench, rotate the FVC counter clockwise
4 turn, then lift the FVC up removing the FVC and the upper o-ring.
Inspect the upper o-ring and the flush valve seat of the Flush Valve Cartridge.
Step e. Reinstall the FVC Assembly. First, position the o-ring in the flush
valve seat and then carefully insert the cartridge into the vessel making sure
that the o-ring stays in the proper position. Using the tool to align the
dual connectors at the 5 o'clock position and while gently pushing down on
the cartridge rotate the cartridge clockwise '/1 tum to lock the FVC into
position with connector ports aligned and facing forward, indicating that the
РУС is now locked into the proper position. (DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS
ON THE O-RING OR INTERNAL PART OF THE ECOFLUSH AS THIS
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.)
Step f. Reconnect the supply lines, (right tab on the right facing port and the
left tab on the left facing port) and while pushing the locking keys into
place rotate the locking tabs upward to lock the lines into place.
Step g. Reconnect the Upper Supply quick connect line by aligning the locking
tab and pushing inward. Rotate the locking tab upward to lock the line
into position.
Step h. Turn on the water supply and check all lines carefully for leaks. To
ensure that the FVC o-ring is properly seated, pour water onto the top of the
FVC and check for air leaks. Test flush the unit several times to clear excess
air and continue use.
Step 6. If Step 4 & 5 do not resolve the problem then it will be necessary to replace the flush
valve cartridge including the o-ring (EcoFlush part number B8104-03, covered by factory warranty).
CONDITION 2: Water Runs & Will Not Shut Off
ii
(NOTE: The recommended static pressure range by code is 20 PSI to 125
PSI). If sufficient supply pressure has been verified and the toilet
continues to run, the following steps may be required:
Step 1. Make sure the water supply valve is fully open.
Step 2. Check the flush control valve for any leaks and make sure the
connections are also tight. If water is leaking from the flush control valve
then the flush control valve should be replaced (EcoFlush Part Number
B8106-06, covered by factory warranty)
Step 3. Check to ensure that there are no leaks in the supply line and
connector lines, which would prevent the proper function of the system.
Step 4. Check the Flush Valve Cartridge (FVC) assembly for proper
installation and use the water test to check for air leak around the top of the
flush valve cartridge. Proceed as follows: Ifthe FVVC has an air leak you
need to check the flush valve and o-ring seal.
Step 5. Turn off the water supply and flush the toilet to relieve any pressure,
Remove the Flush Valve Cartridge (FVC) Assembly using the Flush Valve
tool. To remove the Flush Valve Cartridge Assembly, disconnect the 3 lines
the supply line from the upper supply assembly and the two lines from the
Flush Valve Cartridge(FVC). You may disconnect these lines by moving
the tabs into the unlocked position and pulling gently on the lines.
Disconnect Upper Supply line to the FVC by loosening the nut that
connects the top ofthe FVC to the Upper Supply Assembly.
Step 6. Using the tool provided engage the interlocking teeth and rotate the
FVC counter clockwise f+ turn. Then lift the FVC up removing it from the
vessel,
Step 7. Inspect the FVC large o-ring at the top of cartridge and also check
the lower o-ring for damage or if it is properly seated. NEVER USE ANY
LUBRICANTS ON ANY OF THE PARTS OF THE ECOFLUSH AS THIS
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PARTS.
Step 8. Reinstall the Flush Valve Cartridge (FVC) Assembly. First, insert the cartridge into vessel, and
while gently pushing down on the cartridge, turn the cartridge clockwise '/: tum to lock the FVC into
position with connector ports aligned and facing forward, indicating that the locking lugs are now aligned.
Reconnect the flush control valve hoses then turn on the water and check carefully for leaks.
Step 9. If the tank continues to run, remove the FYC and check that the
lower piston is in the proper position and check the large o-ring to ensure
that it is properly seated. When the vessel is filled and the water stops
running, it is an indication that the vessel is filed and ready to continue
normal use.
Step 10. If the water continues through the vessel into the toilet after
completing Step 1 through 9, the Flush Valve Cartridge should be replaced
(EcoFlush part number B8104-03, covered by warranty).
Check lower inlet supply assembly to see if
the pressure relief valve is leaking or
allowing water to flow into the tank. If water is
leaking from the pressure regulator and relief valve of
the lower inlet supply assembly, the lower inlet
supply assembly must be replaced (EcoFlush Part
number B8100-01, covered by factory warranty).
CONDITION 3: Weak or Sluggish Flush
Step 1. (NOTE: The recommended static pressure range by code is 20 PSI to 125 PSI). If sufficient
supply pressure has been verified and the toilet continues to run, the following steps may be required.
If the pressure is within the above defined limits, then you will want to flush the system a couple of
times to remove any debris that may be limiting the flow of water to the vessel.
Step 2. Check for debris in the filter screen system at the water inlet for
any obstruction that might limit the flow of water into the vessel. To do this
shut off the water supply, flush the unit to relieve any pressure and
disconnect the water supply line from the threaded connector. You can
remove the filter screen easily using a set of long nose pliers. Clean
and replace the filter screen, then reconnect the water supply and
check the water flow.
Step 3. Make sure that the vessel has sufficient time to fully recharge
(the lower the pressure the longer the time to recharge the vessel). We
suggest that you allow at least 2 minutes between flush cycles.
WINTERIZING
The EcoFlush, when installed in a summer home, cottage or cabin, can be winterized to allow for
periods for non-use especially when the dwelling is subject to frigid conditions. Follow the procedures
outlined below.
Tools: (1) Sponge, (2) Bucket, (3) Adjustable Channel Locks
Tank Procedure:
Step 1. Turn off the water supply line valve and remove the toilet tank lid/cover.
Step 2. Flush the system to discharge all of the water from the vessel.
Step 3. Disconnect the supply line-coupling nut from the connector shank. NOTE: A small amount of
water will drip out of the shank. Be prepared to collect it in a bucket or sponge it up. Loosen the hex
nut on the connector shank to allow water to drain from the bottom of the toilet tank into a
bucket. You may also remove the toilet tank lid and use an old towel to soak up any water that may
accumulate in the bottom of the tank.
Step 4. Flush the vessel to ensure that all air and water has been discharged.
Bowl Procedure:
After flushing out the vessel, remove any remaining water from the bowl or add from 1 pint to 1 quart of
antifreeze or RV antifreeze to the water remaining in the bowl.

Instructions for Tamper Resistant Locking
All EcoFlush pressure flushing systems provide the user with the means to deter tampering with the
connector lines of the Flush Control Valve B8106-06A Lines. While this feature may be unnecessary
for residential use, commercial users and those systems that are used in public restroom facilities will
find that this feature will greatly reduce the risk of someone tampering with the connector lines.
Remember, when in use, the EcoFlush Vessel contains compressed air and water. And if someone
were to remove one of the lines, a protection feature is that the toilet would flush, and at the end of
the flush cycle the water flow would continue to flow water into the vessel. If either connector line is
left in the unlocked position (point outward left and right), then there is a risk that water could damage
the surrounding environment.
The method employed by EcoFlush is simple. Note that each of the connector lines are locked
securely into position when the tabs are pointing to the up position with the brass insert plugged into
the two control ports of the Flush Valve Cartridge. You will note that each tab has a hole in the center.
To utilize the simple tamper proof locking system follow these steps:
Installation Steps:
A. Locate the wire tie that was sent with the unit.
B. Thread the end through the three holes of the locking tabs.
C. Insert the flat wire tie into and through the locking lug.
D. Pull the flat wire tie and tighten snugly.
E. Trim the excess away above the wire tie lug.
F. Locking tabs in the tamper resistant position.
This will provide a reasonable level of security and deter individuals from tampering with the
connector lines.
