WARNING
> 99
> 99
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically
> 98
95
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
> 99
disinfection before and after the system. Systems
> 99
certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected
> 99
water that may contain filterable cysts.
> 99

NOTICE
99
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and
99
to ensure optimal filter performance:
> 99
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and
> 99
98
use of this system.
98
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and
98
local plumbing codes.
98
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827
99
kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa),
96
you must install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a
>99
98
plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check
> 98
your water pressure.
> 99
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may
> 99
occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must
> 99
install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
> 99
professional if you are uncertain how to check for this
> 97
condition.
> 99
> 99
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum
> 99
operating water temperature of this filter system is 100º
> 99
F (38º C).
99
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when
> 98
temperatures drop below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
> 99
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months
95
or sooner if you observe a noticeable reduction in water
> 99
> 99
flow rate.
95
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at
95
recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter
95
performance and cracks in the filter housing, causing
>99
water leakage or flooding.
95.5
• This System has been tested according to NSF/ANSI
95.9
98.6
42, 53, 401 and P473 for the reduction of the substances
98.6
listed below. The concentration of the indicated
98.7
substances in water entering the system was reduced
96.1
to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible
96.6
limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/
98.1
ANSI 42, 53, 401 and P473.
