WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
Do not allow children under 3 years of age
ü
to have access to small parts during the
installation of this product.
To reduce the risk associated with the
ingestion of contaminants:
Do not use with water that is
ü
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. EPA
Establishment # 070595-MEX-001
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property
damage due to water leakage:
Read and follow. Use Instructions before
ü
installation and use of this system.
Installation and use MUST comply with all
ü
state and local plumbing codes.
Do not install if water pressure exceeds
ü
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
ü
conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist you must install a water
hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you uncertain how to check
for this condition.
Do not install on hot water supply lines.
ü
The maximum operating water temperature
of this filter system is 100°F (37.8°C).
Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when
ü
temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
The disposable filter cartridge MUST be
ü
replaced every 6 months, at the rated
capacity or if a noticeable reduction in flow
rate occurs.
Protect from freezing, remove filter
ü
cartridge when temperatures are expected
to drop below 33° F.
Do not install systems in areas where
ü
ambient temperatures may go above
110° F (43.3° C).
Where a backflow prevention device is
ü
installed on a water system, a device
for controlling pressure due to thermal
expansion must be installed.
Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and
ü
free of leaks.
