Conditions for Operation:
• You must follow the guidelines to install this system. Check with your State/Province and
local public works department for plumbing and sanitation codes.
• If house water line pressure is over the maximum 100 psi (pounds per square inch), install a
pressure regulator in the water supply line before this system.
• The system is for cold water use only and must be protected against freezing, which can
cause water leakage.
• 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 wares that may contain filterable cysts.
• Make sure the water supply conforms to the specification guidelines. If the water
supply conditions are unknown, consult your local municipal water company or health
department about the quality and the list of contaminants of the water in your area.
• While using the system for the first time, or prolonged non-use (such as during a vacation
over one week), the system should be flushed thoroughly.
CAUTION: Let water run for 15 minutes to rinse the system before using.
• This system contains replaceable filter cartridge(s) with a limited service life.
CAUTION: Changes in taste, odor, color and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate
that the cartridge should be replaced.
