Precautions
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
WARNING:
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: This filter must be protected from freezing, which
can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION: Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage,
we strongly recommend that the head of the filter
be replaced every ten years. If the head of your filter
has been in use for longer than this period, it should
be replaced immediately . Date the top of any
new head to indicate the next recommended
replacement date.
CAUTION: Turn off water supply to head without cartridge if it must
be left unattended for an extended period of time.
•
For cold water use only .

with all local bylaws and regulations.
•
The contaminants or other substances
removed or reduced by the selected
cartridge are not necessarily in your water.
Ask your local water supplier for a copy of
their water analysis.
•
After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a
holiday) it is recommended that the system be flushed
thoroughly . Let water run for 2-3 minutes before using.
•
The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service
life. Changes in taste, odour , colour; and/or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
