WARNING
> 99
> 99
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
> 98
95
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
> 99
before and after the system. Systems certified for cyst

NOTICE
99
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to
> 99
ensure optimal filter performance:
> 99
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and
98
use of this system .
98
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local
98
98
plumbing codes .
99
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827
96
kPa) . If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you
>99
must install a pressure-limiting valve . Contact a plumbing
98
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water
> 98
pressure .
> 99
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur .
> 99
> 99
If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water
> 99
hammer arrester . Contact a plumbing professional if you are
> 97
uncertain how to check for this condition .
> 99
• Do not install on hot water supply lines . The maximum
> 99
operating water temperature of this filter system is 100º F
> 99
(38º C) .
> 99
99
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures
> 98
drop below 33ºF (0 .6ºC) .
> 99
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months or
95
sooner if you observe a noticeable reduction in water flow
> 99
rate .
> 99
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at
95
recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter
95
95
performance and cracks in the filter housing, causing water
>99
leakage or flooding .
