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 disinfec-
tion before or after the system.
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 fi lter bracket.
• If the home electrical system requires use of the cold water system as an electrical safety ground,
a jumper must be used to ensure a suffi cient ground connection across the fi lter installation piping
— refer installation to qualifi ed personnel.
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 and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing. Drain fi lter when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 125 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 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.
• Install on COLD water lines only (40-100°F (4.4-37.8°C)).
• The disposable fi lter cartridge must be replaced every six months or at the specifi ed service cycle.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter or plastic fi ttings.
• Do not install in direct sunlight.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to
mount the bracket.
• Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of
installation (waste baskets, etc).
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use thread sealing tape only.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.
• Failure to follow instructions may void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2" (5 cm) clear space under fi lter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certifi ed installer when disrupting a
potable water line.
• Before starting installation, shut off main water supply and drain pipes.
