Precautions
WARNING:
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 waters that may contain filterable cysts.
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:
Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the bottom of all plastic housings be replaced every
ten years. If the bottom of your housing has been in use for longer
than this period, it should be replaced immediately. Date the bottom of
any new or replacement housing to indicate the next recommended
replacement date.

local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or have
your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.
• After 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.

indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
About Your PENTEK MTBE Filtration
System
Thank you for purchasing a PENTEK MTBE Filtration System. With
only minimal maintenance, your new system will provide you with
safer, better-tasting water for years to come. The filter cartridges
should be changed after every 500 gallons of use or once every six
months, whichever comes first. Filter life will vary depending on usage
and water conditions. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the filter cartridges should be replaced.
US-1000 MTBE Filtration System
The US-1000 MTBE Filtration System uses two carbon filter cartridges
specially formulated to provide safer, cleaner, and better-tasting
water. The US-1000 filtration system is NSF certified to reduce MTBE,
chlorine taste & odor, asbestos reduction and cyst removal, lead,
mercury and VOC's in drinking water (see performance data on p. 7 for
specific claims).
Lead is tasteless and colorless, and may enter your water supply
through lead pipes, lead solder, and brass fittings and faucets. The
US-1000 system has been Tested and Certified by NSF International to
reduce lead below the USEPA Action Level.
The Model US-1000 is Tested and Certified by NSF
International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction
of Taste and Odor, Chlorine, and Particulate Class I. Standard
53 for the reduction of MTBE, Lead, Mercury, VOC, Cyst,
Asbestos, and Turbidity.
