4. Setup and Installation
The iSpring EDV2 offers effortless installation with no plumbing modifications required. It is compatible with all pipe types, including PEX and PVC. A minimum of 24 inches of straight pipe is recommended for optimal coil wrapping.
Installation Steps:
- Choose a Location: Select a dry, protected area near your main water line, ensuring a minimum of 24 inches of straight pipe for coil wrapping. The unit should be protected from direct weather and extreme temperatures.
- Mount the Unit: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the EDV2 unit to a wall or sturdy surface.
- Wrap the Coil Wires: Take one coil wire and wrap it tightly around the chosen section of the water pipe. Ensure the wraps are close together and cover at least 24 inches of pipe. Repeat with the second coil wire, wrapping it in the same direction, parallel to the first. Secure the ends of the coils with cable ties.
- Connect to the Unit: Plug the ends of the wrapped coil wires into the designated "COIL" ports on the EDV2 unit.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the "POWER" port on the EDV2 unit, then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
- Verify Operation: The "COIL" and "POWER" indicator lights on the unit should illuminate, indicating proper function.

5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and powered on, the iSpring EDV2 operates continuously to condition your water. The unit works by emitting an electromagnetic field that changes the crystalline structure of hard water minerals (like calcium and magnesium) from calcite to aragonite or vaterite. These altered crystals are less likely to adhere to surfaces, preventing scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
- The "POWER" indicator light should be green, and the "COIL" indicator light should be blue, confirming the unit is active.
- The EDV2 is designed for continuous operation. There are no user-adjustable settings.
- Noticeable improvements in water quality and reduced scale may take up to 12 weeks to become fully apparent, as existing scale is gradually reduced and new scale formation is prevented.

6. Maintenance
The iSpring EDV2 is designed for maintenance-free operation. No filters to change, no salt to add, and no chemicals are used. Periodically, you may wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean.
- Ensure the coil wires remain securely wrapped around the pipe.
- Check the indicator lights periodically to confirm the unit is powered and functioning.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your iSpring EDV2, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No indicator lights are on. | No power supply. | Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into the unit and the electrical outlet. Verify the outlet has power. |
| Only "POWER" light is on, "COIL" light is off. | Coil wires not properly connected or damaged. | Ensure both coil wires are securely plugged into the "COIL" ports. Inspect wires for visible damage. Re-wrap coils if loose. |
| No noticeable improvement in water quality after several weeks. | Insufficient time for descaling to take effect; severe existing scale; improper installation. | Allow up to 12 weeks for full effect. Ensure coils are tightly wrapped over at least 24 inches of straight pipe. Confirm both indicator lights are on. Contact support if issues persist. |
