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