WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before and
after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be
used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to
water leakage:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of
this system.
• Installation and use must comply with all state and local
plumbing codes.
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (8.2 bar). If your
water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure-
limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are
uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If
water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer
arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain
how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating
water temperature of this filter system is 100º F (38º C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop
below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
• The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6
months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction
in flow rate occurs.
Capacity 300 Gallons (1,135 Liters).
