• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and
116 psi {100~800 kPa). If the water supply pressureis
more than 116psi, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
• Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and
wear, and replace the hose if necessary.
° Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.

hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out of the
