WHAT THE DRINKING WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM WILL DO
The PDF-1000VF-P is a water filtration system. This system uses a triple filter design to reduce unwanted elements in your drinking
water. Possible elements may include chlorine, lead, virus, bacteria, cysts, particulates and numerous organic compounds.
The PDF-1000VF-P utilizes the patented NanoCeram® and other technologies in a systematic approach to ensure the water supply
conforms to EPA Guide Standard for the removal of 99.9999% Bacteria, 99.99% Viruses, and 99.95% Cysts*. The PDF-1000VF-P is
designed to discontinue water flow when its capability to filter unwanted elements has been exhausted. This will help safeguard the
consumer against contaminated water. Replace all filters every 6 months or 1000 gallons.
*NSF/ANSI Standard 53 certified to reduce cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means.
NOTE: A performance data sheet is included and lists what elements will be reduced from the water supply. (Please note that not all
elements may be present.) This data sheet lists the individual contaminants and microbial reduction performance.
The drinking water filtration system is designed to fit under the kitchen or bathroom sink or any other area that is suitable. A COLD
water supply pipe is required within a few feet. If water supply pipe is farther than what the tube will reach, you can purchase longer
lengths of tubing from your local home improvement center.
NOTE: Make sure the tubing is acceptable for use on potable water supplies.
BEFORE YOU START
• In order to receive all of the benefits of your microbiological drinking water filtration system, be sure to read all steps in this
guide carefully and follow steps exactly.
• This system is intended for use with municipal and/or well-supplied water only. It is not intended for use with surface water
such as from a lake or runoff.
• Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamination source, such
as contamination by raw sewage.
• Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
• System is not intended to convert wastewater or raw sewage into drinking water.
• Installation and plumbing should comply with all local laws and regulations. Consult with your licensed plumber.
NOTE: In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and 10.00 shall be adhered to.
• The microbiological drinking water purifier works on water pressure of 30 psi (minimum) to 100 psi (maximum). If your
house water pressure is over the maximum, install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply pipe to the filter system.
• Do not install the microbiological drinking water purifier outside, or in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of
the water supply to the under-sink drinking water filter system must be between 40°F and 100°F. Do not install on hot water.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without disinfection before or after the system.
• Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
PRECAUTIONS
• This system is for cold water use only.
• Protect filters against freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
• 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.
• To prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, the sump of plastic housings must be replaced every ten years. If sump is older
than recommended, replace immediately. Date sump for reference and indicate replacement date.
