INSTALLATION, OPERATION & SERVICE MANUAL
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable treatment components critical for effective performance. It is the user's responsibility to, and
the manufacturer strongly recommends that the user, periodically test the product water to verify the system is performing satisfactorily. See the
test kit for sampling instructions.
This system conforms to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for pentavalent arsenic reduction. See the Performance Data Sheet and Arsenic Facts section
for an explanation of reduction performance.
DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY, WITHOUT
ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM. Systems certifi ed for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected
water that may contain fi lterable cysts.
