Application Guidelines/Water Supply Parameters
It is essential that the manufacturer's recommended installation, maintenance and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as advertised.
Seeinsert for Warranty information.
Operating Specifications
• Pressure requirement: 40-120 psi (2.8-8.2 bar), non-shock
• Temperature: 33-100°F (0.6-38°C)
• How rate: 0.9 gpm (3.14 Ipm)
General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements
• Hush new cartridge at fuil flow for 4-1/2 gallons (about five minutes)to purge
trapped ain
• Replace cartridge when flow becomes too slow.
• Protect from freezing by removing filter cartridge when temperatures are
expected to drop below 40°F (4.4°C). Do not install systems in areas where
ambient temperatures may go above 100°F or below 40°R Do not install
on a hot water supply.
Special Notices
• Installation instructions are included with the product when shipped.
• This drinking water system must be maintained according to manufacturer's
instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologicaliy unsafe or of unknown quality with-
out adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
• Thecontaminants or other substancesremoved or reduced bythis water
treatment system are not necessarilyinyour water.
• Checkfor compliancewith the applicablestate and locallaws and regulations.
• Notethat whilethe testingwas performedunderstandard laboratory conditions,
actual performance may vary. Systemsmust be installedand operated in
accordance with manufacturer's recommended proceduresand guidelines.
• Installationand use MUST comply with all state and local plumbingcodes.Do not
install if water pressureexceeds120psi. Ifyour water pressureexceeds80 psi
(552kPa), y ou shouldinstall a pressure-limitingvalve.Contact a plumbing
professionalifyou are uncertain how to checkyour water pressure.
• Donot install where water hammer conditionsmay occur. Ifwater hammer
conditionsexistyou must installa water hammer arrester.Contact a plumbing
professionalifyou are uncertain how to check far this condition.
• Wherea backflow preventiondevice is installedon a water system,a devicefar
controlling pressuredue to thermal expansionmust be installed.
Forconditionsof use,health claims certified bythe CaliforniaDepartment of Public
Health,and replacements,see performance data sheet.CaliforniaDepartment
of PublicHealth Certification#06-1834.The contaminants or other substances
removed or reduced bythis water filter are not necessarilyinall users'water.
