PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock . If your water pipes are
used to ground your home' s electrical system, install a No . 8 AWG
jumper wire (or larger) around the filter. The jumper wire must
be connected at both ends by a pressure wire fitting or other
connection that satisfies NEC or CEC and local codes. Consult a
building inspector or licensed electrician for more information .
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system .
WARNING
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used
on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
CAUTION
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION 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 above the
threads of the housing or a water leak could occur .
CAUTION
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 five years for clear and every ten years for opaque. 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 .
CAUTION
Do not use electrical heating tape on this unit .

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE:
• Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions
before installing and using your water filter.
• There must be a shut-off valve before the filter.
• Install filter after water meter or pressure tank.
• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps .
• Before installing the filter, determine where the unit will be
located and what type of pipe the unit will connect to . The
filter head has 1-inch NPT threaded connections molded into
it . Allow a 1-1/2 inch clearance below the housing to allow for
changing the cartridge .
• The recommended installation has a shut-off valve on both the
inlet and outlet sides of the filter. The installation shown uses
copper piping . The weight of the filter should be supported so
it does not stress the pipes . The main house water shut-off
valve can be used as the inlet side shut-off valve .
