Precautions

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown

quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters

that may contain filterable cysts.

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 below 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 ten years. 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.

NOTE:

• For cold water use only.

• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.

• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the selected

cartridge 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.

• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is

recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6

minutes before using.

• The filter cartridges used with this system have a limited service life. Changes

in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the cartridge

should be replaced.

The Model SY-2650 is Tested and Certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF

Standard 42 for the reduction of Taste and Odor, Chlorine Class I, and Particulate Class I.

Standard 53 for the reduction of MTBE, Lead, Mercury, VOC, Cyst, Asbestos, and Turbidity.

About Your CULLIGAN

Monitored MTBE Filtration System

Thank you for purchasing a Culligan Monitored MTBE Filtration System. With only

minimal maintenance, your new system will provide you with safer, better-tasting

water for years to come. The filter cartridges should be changed after every 500

gallons of use or once every six months, whichever comes first. Filter life will vary

depending on usage and water conditions, and changes in taste, odor, and/or flow

of the water being filtered indicate that the filter cartridges should be replaced. The

SY-2650 incorporates an electronic monitor that measures the number of

gallons flowing through the system and alerts you when the filter cartridges need

to be replaced.

SY-2650 Monitored MTBE

Filtration System

The SY-2650 Monitored MTBE Filtration System uses two carbon filter cartridges

specially formulated to provide safer, cleaner, and better-tasting water. In addition

to the MTBE, chlorine, asbestos reduction and cyst removal, the SY-2650 filtration

system is NSF-certified to reduce lead, mercury, pesticides, herbicides, and various

Chemicals (VOC’s) in drinking water (see performance data on pg 7 for specific

claims).

Lead is tasteless and colorless, and may enter your water supply through lead

pipes, lead solder, and brass fittings and faucets. High levels of lead in your

drinking water may lead to serious long-term health problems, especially in

children. The SY-2650 system has been Tested and Certified by NSF International

to reduce lead well below the USEPA Action Level of 10 parts per billion.

A variety of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals (sometimes referred to as

Volatile Organic Chemicals or VOC’s) may be present in your water supply.

Common contaminants include lindane, atrazine, benzene, and trihalomethanes.

Trihalomethanes (THM) are a class of potentially harmful chemicals formed as a by

product of chlorination. The SY-2650 is NSF-Certified to reduce these and over 30

other chemicals to well below EPA drinking water standards. For a complete listing

of chemical reduction test results, see the Performance Data.

Installation • For standard under-sink installation on 1/2-inch 14 NPS threads (most common thread on kitchen faucets) cold water line. • Please read all instructions and precautions before installing and using your Monitored MTBE Filtration System. • Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps. 1. Installing the Water Supply Adapter NOTE: The supply adapter fits 1/2-inch-14 NPS supply threads. If local codes permit, it may be used to connect the SY-2650 to the cold water supply line.

4. Mounting the System (A) Center system between water supply adapter and drinking water faucet. NOTE: Allow 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) clearance below system for changing filter cartridges. (B) Install mounting screws at least 13-3/4 inches (350 mm) from cabinet floor and 4-1/8 inches (124 mm) apart. Leave enough space (approximately 1/2-inch [13 mm]) between the head of the screw and the wall to slip system onto screws. (C) Place system over screws on wall and slide downwards to lock into place.
