It is essential that the manufacturer's recommended installation, maintenance and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as
advertised. See Installation Manual for Warranty information.
NOTE: While the testing was performed under standard laboratory
conditions, actual performance may vary. Contaminant reduction
testing is conducted every five years by certifying agency to
maintain certification.
Replacement Cartridge: RPWFE. For estimated costs of
replacement elements please call 1.877.959.8688 or visit our
website at www.geapplianceparts.com.
WARNING
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 and
after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be
used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to
ensure optimal filter performance:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of
this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local
plumbing codes.

• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If
your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, 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 install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating
water temperature of this filter system is 100º F (38º C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop
below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months or sooner
if you observe a noticeable reduction in water flow rate.
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at recommended
intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and cracks inthe
filter housing, causing water leakage or flooding.
• Product certified by NSF International, which requires resting
of Product every 5 years for material safety, structural integrity,
performance claims.
