It is essential that the manufacturer's recommended installation, maintenance and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as advertised.
See Installation Manual for Warranty information.
Operating Specifications
, Pressure requirement: 40-120 psi (2.8-8.2 bar), non-shock
* Temperature: 35-100°F (0.6-38°C)
. Flow rate: 0.5 gpm (1.9 Ipm)
General Installotion/Operation/Plointenonce Requirements
, Flush new cartridge at full flow for 1-1/2 gallons (about three minutes) to purge
trapped air.
, Reptoce cartridge when flow becomes too slow.
o Protect from freezing by removing filter cartridge when temperatures are
expected to drop below 33°F (1°C). Do not install sgstems in areas where
ambient temperatures may go above 100°F or below 40°K Do not install
on a hot water supply.
Special Notices
o Installation instructions are included with the product when shipped.
, This drinking water sgstem must be maintained according to manufacturer's
instructions, including replacement of filter ca rtddges.
, Do not use with water that is microbiologicallg unsafe or of unknown qualitg
without adequate disinfection before or after the sgstem. Sgstems certified for
cgst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cgsts.
. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
. Check for compliance with the applicable state and local laws and regulations.
. Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions,
actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and operated in
accordance with manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines.
. Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Do not
install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi
(552 kPa), you should install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
. Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
. Where a backflow prevention device is installed on o water system, a device for
controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
