WARNING
C C AUTION
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
• Do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric wiring
or water pipes in the area of installation:
• Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when selecting the position
to mount the fi lter bracket.
To reduce the risk of physical injury:
• Shut off inlet water supply and depressurize system as shown in manual prior to cartridge removal.
To reduce the risk of fi re or explosion:
• Use fi lter for liquid service only. Not for continuous gas service.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing, remove fi lter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 300 psi (2,070 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa),
you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your
water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a
water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter system, cartridges, plastic fi ttings or plastic
plumbing.
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may
deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if overtightening
occurs.
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors without protection from precipitation.
• Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• The disposable fi lter cartridge MUST be replaced ever 6 months, at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduc-
tion in fl ow rate occurs.
• Failure to follow instructions may void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2" (5.1 cm) clear space under fi lter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
