Read and follow Installation and Operating Instructions before installation
and use of this system.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
•
Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
•
Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop
below 40°F (4.4°C).
•
Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 100°F
(43.3°C).
•
Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of
this filter system is 100°F (37.8°C).
•
If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure reducing 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.
•
Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling
pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed. Contact a plumbing professional if
you are uncertain how to select/install/maintain a thermal expansion device.
•
Booster Pump: if a booster pump is installed on a water system, you must (a) maintain
and inspect the attached pressure switch regularly in accordance with the booster pump
manufacturer's instructions; and (b) install an appropriate pressure relief valve, and
maintain and inspect the valve regularly.
•
Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near filter system, cartridges,
plastic fittings or plastic plumbing.
•
On plastic fittings, 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 fittings, as damage may
occur if over tightening occurs.
•
Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
•
Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the
position to mount the bracket.
•
Mount filter 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 when
installed and full of water.
•
Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
•
SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut
off.
