Operating Specifications
■ Capacity: certified for up to 300 gallons (1135 l); up to six
months for models without a replacement filter indicator light;
up to one year for models with a replacement filter indicator light
■ Pressure requirement: 40–120 psi (2.8–8.2 bar), non-shock
■ Temperature: 33–100ºF (0.6–38ºC)

General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements
■ Flush new cartridge at full flow for 3 minutes to purge out
trapped air.
■ Replace cartridge when the indicator light flashes or water
flow rate is reduced on non-indicator units.
Special Notices
■ Installation instructions, parts and service availability, and standard
warranty are included with the product when shipped.
■ This drinking water system must be maintained according to
manufacturer’s instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
■ Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water
that may contain filterable cysts.
■ The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this
water treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
■ Check for compliance with the state and local laws and regulations.
■ Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory
conditions, actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and
operated in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended procedures
and guidelines.
