Dear Water Treatment & Plumbing Professional, |
|
|
Eco-Tech is dedicated to providing
useful and innovative solutions for the water treatment and plumbing industry. We
bring a unique product to market designed to assist dealers of quality
water treatment equipment with the best installations possible, and most
importantly, satisfied customers. |
|
|
Prior to our Drain
Line Adapter series, the only drain connection available for undercounter RO's
was the drain saddle. |
|
|
Eco-Tech sold the first DLA-9 and
DLA-12 in January 1995. Since that time, our product line has
expanded and our series of drain connections have met with wide acceptance
from dealers, plumbers, manufacturers, building and health department inspectors
from coast to coast. |
|
|
IAPMO has listed all of our models,
and they are engraved with the UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code) logo.
Three of our models are third party tested to either ASME Standard A112.1.3
for airgaps, or ASTM Standard F 409.
Eco-Tech maintains excellent patent protection, and we are engaged in an
ongoing program to obtain additional patents, certifications, and
listings. |
|
|
The installer of an RO system or
softener will find it very useful to have one or more of our DLA models
available on the truck in order to accomplish a routine installation, or
solve any plumbing challenges encountered. Drain saddles are
code violations subject to failure and red
tagging during inspections. The dripping gurgling noise and
repeated clogging caused by the saddle are responsible for most of the
problems normally associated with airgap faucets.
|
|
|
Below are four reasons why
our Drain Line Adapters should replace the drain saddle: |
|
|
 |
The DLA-9 or DLA-D, and in
most cases, the DLA-12 will reduce or eliminate reject water
noise. | |
|
|
|
The DLA-9 and DLA-12 are very
clog resistant due to their recessed conical design
and polypropylene construction. The DLA-D is self
cleaning in that it actually creates a venturi in
the RO reject water tubing. During the operation of a
dishwasher or disposal (or both, when simultaneously in the drain
cycle), a suction is generated which can be felt through the RO
faucet airgap
port. | |
|
|
|
The DLA-12 and DLA-D
installation looks very professional
and will not be accidentally rotated or bumped out
of alignment by moving supplies or replacing a waste basket
under the sink. Typically, the DLA-12 installs in about one to
three minutes, while the drain saddle requires about five
minutes. The DLA-9, 12 & D eliminate the use of electric
drilling into wet pipes with several different bits to achieve the
desired hole size. They eliminate the close alignment of the
drilled pipe to the hole of a self adhesive gasket and to the outlet
of a drain saddle, followed by the insertion of a threaded connector
which may leak at the threads. | |
|
|
|
The DLA-D bypasses
existing plumbing and eliminates the need to tie into
potentially corroded pipes. When a single compartment kitchen
sink with a disposal is encountered, a DLA-9 or DLA-D is
indispensable. | |
|
|
The DLA-G airgap series, provides a convenient ready-made airgap
for softeners, RO's, and condensate lines. Model DLA-TAG twin inlet dishwasher airgap is a welcome addition to our product line for RO installations with high flow rates and dual compartment dishwashers requiring two airgaps to the drain. Models DLA-G15 & DLA-G20 provide female inlet threads to accommodate Schedule-40 rigid pipe connections required by code. We will introduce more products as they become
available, and we appreciate the acceptance with which the industry has
received our inventions! |

|
Thank
you,
Dennis Bowman / President
