Precautions
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 waters that may contain filterable cysts.
Filter must be protected against freezing,
which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
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 below the
threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.
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 ten years. 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.
NOTE:
•
For cold water use only.
•
Make certain that installation complies with all state
and local laws and regulations.
•
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced
by the selected cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask
your local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis,
or have your private well tested by a reputable water testing lab.

•
After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation)
it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly.
Let water run for 5–6 minutes before using.
•
The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service
life. Changes in taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being
filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
•
Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges
(such as the D-10). If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or
develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media
cartridge or call Technical Support.
