PRECAUTIONS
Carefully read and follow instructions.
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
Prop 65 Warning for California Residents: This
product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
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.
CAUTION
Clear housings may crack or craze in time causing
failure and leakage if exposed to organic solvents, such as those

this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water
analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable water
testing lab.
Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Filter cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage, and
•
water conditions.
The replacement filter cartridge used with this system has a
•
limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

•
This installation must comply with all applicable state and
•
local regulations.
Use only plumber tape without adhesive backing to seal joints.
•
Do not use pipe compound (pipe dope), sticks, or similar
compounds with this unit; they contain petroleum derivatives
which will cause crazing and cracking of the plastic in the
filter housing.
Use only soap and water to clean filter housing
•
and components.
Do not use aerosol sprays (bug spray, cleaning fluids, etc.)
•
near the filter. They contain organic solvents which will cause

An activated carbon cartridge may contain a small amount of
carbon fines (very fine black powder). A new cartridge, after
installation, should be flushed with sufficient water to remove
the fines before using the water.
