Before Replacing the Water Filter

Warning
  • To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.

  • To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants, do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

  • Use of unauthorized water filters may result in product malfunction, water leakage or water quality issues, which will not be covered under the product warranty.

Caution
  • 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 (827 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumber if 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 100 8 (37.8 7).

  • Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 40 8 (4.4 7).

  • The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.

  • To protect it from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 33 8 ( 0 7).

  • Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110 8 (43.3 7).

  • Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.

  • Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free from leaks.
