WARNING:
NOTICE:
Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage.
Read entire product manual. Failure to follow all product instructions and warnings could cause personal
injury from exposure to contaminants and/or property damage due to water leakage or flooding.
• 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 water that may
contain filterable cysts.
• THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT REMOVE ALL SUBSTANCES THAT COULD BE PRESENT IN DRINKING WATER.
This system reduces the listed substances identified in the Performance Data Sheet.
• VERIFY THIS SYSTEM meets your water treatment needs by checking your incoming water source quality and
comparing to the system's capabilities described in the Performance Data Sheet. Check water source quality
by contacting your local water authority and/or having water tested by a qualified laboratory. Check water
quality regularly as it can change. After installation, test outgoing filtered water quality regularly to ensure
system is installed correctly and meeting your treatment needs, especially if your filter's incoming water or
plumbing system may have high contaminant levels. Actual performance may vary depending on your local
water and plumbing conditions and water consumption patterns.
• DO NOT use product if it has been hit, dropped, or damaged.
• Before using, flush any new filter cartridge with water according to the Performance Data Sheet. In addition,
flush the cartridge whenever the system has not been used for more than 72 hours.
• REPLACE FILTER CARTRIDGE no later than every 6 or 12 months. If the rated gallon capacity is reached or a
noticeable reduction in flow rate, change in odor or taste occurs before 6 or 12 months of use, then replace
filter promptly. Failure to replace filter cartridge according to these instructions may result in failure of filter to
reduce contaminants as designed AND/OR property damage due to water leakage or flooding.
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
• DO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to access small parts.
Read entire product manual. Failure to follow all product instructions may lead to property damage due
to water leakage or flooding. Contact a licensed plumber if you are unsure about any of the following
instructions:
• System installation and use must comply with all state and local regulations and plumbing codes.
• Water Supply Pressure: If your water supply pressure is higher than 80 psi, you must install a pressure reducing
valve before installing system.
• Water Hammer: if water hammer conditions may occur, you must install a water hammer arrester.
• Backflow prevention: If a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, you must install a device
for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion.
• Booster Pump: if a booster pump is installed on a water system, you must (a) maintain and inspect the attached
pressure switch regularly in accordance with the booster pump manufacturer's instructions; and (b) install an
appropriate pressure reducing valve, and maintain and inspect the valve regularly.
• When mounting the system, pick a location where (a) the filter will not be struck by other items, (b) no
equipment, electrical wires or pipes will be in the path of your drilling or tools, and (c) the fasteners will support
the weight of the system when full of water.
• Install only on cold water supply line. DO NOT install where ambient temperatures or water temperatures may
exceed 100°F (37.8°C). DO NOT install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• Protect from freezing. Remove filter cartridge if temperature may drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
• DO NOT install with rigid piping (such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, chrome plated, or anodized tubing).
• Use compatible flexible tubing with appropriate connections (such as PEX tubing, PE tubing, PP tubing). Avoid
twisting during installation.
• DO NOT install or use if a collet or any other component is missing. Contact 1-866-990-9785 or your local
distributor.
• DO NOT use product if it has been hit, dropped, or damaged.
