Materials Required

Depends on type, size, and location of pipe on which system will be installed. See instructions that relate to your

particular installation, or consult your local hardware store or plumbing supplier to find out more about your particular

installation needs.

Precautions

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection

before or after the system.

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: To prevent costly repairs or possible water damage the sump of plastic housings must be replaced every five

years for clear, and ten years for opaque. If sump is older than recommended, replace immediately. Date sump for reference

and indicate replacement date.

• Install on cold water line only.

• Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

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

• For 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 cartridge has a limited service life. A decrease in water flow indicates that the cartridge should be

replaced.

• Some harmless bacteria will attack cellulose media cartridges. If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or has a musty

or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the cartridge manufacturer.

Troubleshooting Leaks…Between cap and bottom of housing: 1. Turn off water supply and press the red pressure-relief button. 2. Clean and lubricate o-ring if necessary, then screw bottom of housing onto cap and hand-tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. On unit inlet/outlet connections: 1. Turn off water supply. Tighten compression fittings with a wrench. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. 2. Turn on water supply. If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on unit, turn off water supply.
