- If water flow speed exceeds rated flow, please install a flow-limiting or pressure-limiting device. If the water pressure is over 43 psi, please install a pressure regulator in the inlet/outlet to protect the quartz sleeve.
- Please install the filter at a position by the retaining clip, retaining nuts, or other mounting devices to prevent it from dropping due to the vibration caused by water and causing damages to the fragile internal parts.
- The ultraviolet water filter is not designed to eliminate bad tastes or smells, biological materials, chemicals, silt, heavy metal, and other kinds of impurities. It does not reduce sediments that affect the efficiency of the UV lamp. Therefore, it is...
