Before You Begin
Operation / Maintenance Data
These units are intended for non-commercial use. They should be used only in ambient air temperature of between 40 degrees F /
4.4 degrees C and 100 degrees F / 37.7 degrees C. Placement of these units in direct sunlight or use of electrical heating equipment
on these units must be avoided. Replace filter cartridge when and as directed in the installation / operation instructions included with
each cartridge. Replacement filter cartridges are available at retail outlets.
• These filters are not water purifiers. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the filter.
• This unit is not designed to filter sulfur odor (rotten egg odor) caused by hydrogen sulfide. Use of carbon filters to treat sulfur odor
may intensify taste/odor problems.
• Please comply with all state and local regulations regarding the installation of water treatment devices.
• The contaminants or other substances reduced by the water filter device are not necessarily in your water.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended to thoroughly flush the filter. Let water run for
10 minutes before using.
• The filter cartridges used have a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the
cartridge should be replaced.
• Your water filter housing will withstand up to 100 psi water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than 100 psi,
install a pressure reducing valve before the unit is installed.
Filtration Facts
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before
installing and using your water filter.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend
that the housing be replaced every five years. If the head of the housing has been in use for longer than this period, it should be
replaced immediately. Date the top of any new head to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
NOTICE
This filter must be protected from freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
Precautions: for cold water use only.
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.
WARNING: Be sure that all electrical appliances and outlets adjacent to the filter installation are turned o at the circuit breaker before
beginning work.
WARNING
Please wear safety glasses to protect eyes when drilling.
CAUTION
!
A grounding kit (not included) MUST be installed on water pipes if they are used to ground electrical systems, appliances,
or phones.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This household filter is designed to clean water and reduce
sediment. To improve the taste of water consider installing
or using an undersink system, faucet mount or pitcher that
is certified to improve the taste of water.
