EXPLANATION OF SIGNAL WORD CONSEQUENCES
WARNING
CAUTION
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 or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001.
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage:
• Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when
selecting the position to mount the filter bracket.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system;
• Installation must comply with existing state or local plumbing codes;
• Install on cold water lines only;
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when room temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C);
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water pressure ex-
ceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), 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 100°F (37.8°C);
• The disposable filter cartridge must be replaced every twelve (12) months or at the
specified service cycle;
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the
position to mount the bracket;
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in
the area of installation (waste baskets, etc.);
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2" (5 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
