Carefully read and follow instructions.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. If your water pipes are used
to ground your home's electrical system, install a No. 8 AWG jumper
wire (or larger) around the filter. The jumper wire must be connected
at both ends by a pressure wire fitting or other connection that
satisfies NEC or CEC and local codes. Consult a building inspector or
licensed electrician for more information.
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.

CAlIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
CAUTION
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION
The rubber O-ring provides the water-tight seal between
the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important that the O-ring
be properly seated in the groove above the threads of the housing or
a water leak could occur.
CAUTION
Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the bottom of all plastic housings be replaced every
five years for clear and every ten years for opaque. If the bottom of
your housing has been in use for longer than this period, it should be
replaced immediately. Date the bottom of any new or replacement
housing to indicate the next recommended replacement date.

INSTAllATION INSTRuCTIONS

NOTE:
• Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before
installing and using your water filter.
• There must be a shut-off valve before the filter.
• Install filter after water meter or pressure tank.
• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps.
• Before installing the filter, determine where the unit will be located
and what type of pipe the unit will connect to. The filter head has
1-inch NPT threaded connections molded into it. The distance from
the top of the water piping to the floor must be at least 15-inches
for filter change allowance. Allow a 11⁄2-inch clearance below the
housing to allow for changing the cartridge.
• The recommended installation has a shut-off valve on both the inlet
and outlet sides of the filter. The installation shown uses copper
piping. The weight of the filter should be supported so it does not
stress the pipes. The main house water shut-off valve can be used
as the inlet side shut-off valve.

CAUTION
Do not use electrical heating tape on this unit.
NOTES:
• For cold water use only.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water. Ask
your local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis,
or have your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.
• Filter cartridge life varies depending on filter
type, usage, and water conditions.
• The replacement filter cartridge used with this system has a
limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
• Use only OMNIFILTER replacement cartridges.
• This installation must comply with all applicable
state and local regulations.
• Use only plumber tape without adhesive backing to seal joints. Do
not use pipe compound (pipe dope), sticks, or similar compounds
with this unit; they contain petroleum derivatives which will
cause crazing and cracking of the plastic in the filter housing.
• Use only soap and water to clean filter housing and components.
• After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation,
it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly.
Let water run for 5–6 minutes before using.
• Do not use a torch near the unit.
• An activated carbon cartridge may contain a small
amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder). A new
cartridge, after installation, should be flushed with sufficient
water to remove the fines before using the water.
• Wear safety glasses during installation.
