PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
CAUTION
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION
The rubber O-ring provides the water-tight seal
between the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important
that the O-ring be properly seated in the groove below the
threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.
CAUTION
Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the bottom of all opaque plastic housings be
replaced every ten years. If the bottom of your housing has
been in use for longer than this period, it should be replaced
immediately. Date the bottom of any new or replacement
housing to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
NOTES:
For cold water use only.
•
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
•
this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water
analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable water
testing lab.
Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Filter cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage, and
•
water conditions.
The replacement filter cartridge used with this system has a
•
limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
Use only OMNIFILTER replacement cartridges.
•
This installation must comply with all applicable state and
•
local regulations.
Use only plumber tape without adhesive backing to seal joints.
•
Do not use pipe compound ("pipe dope"), sticks, or similar
compounds with this unit; they contain petroleum derivatives
which will cause crazing and cracking of the plastic in the
filter housing.
Use only soap and water to clean filter housing
•
and components.
Do not use aerosol sprays (bug spray, cleaning fluids, etc.)
•
near the filter. They contain organic solvents which will cause
crazing and cracking of the plastic in the filter housing.
After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation, it
•
is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let
water run for 5-6 minutes before using.
Do not use a torch near the unit.
•
• 2 •
Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges
•
such as the TO1. If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or
develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media
cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
Wear safety glasses during installation.
