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
five years for clear and ten years for opaque. 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.
CAUTION:
Clear housings may crack or craze in time causing failure
and leakage if exposed to organic solvents such as those found in
aerosol sprays for cleaning products and insecticides.

Tools and Materials Required

• Appropriate fittings and pipe
to install filter
• Teflon tape
®
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Pencil
NOTE:
• For cold water use only.
• Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws
and regulations.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the
selected cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask your 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.
• The filter cartridges used with this system have a limited service
life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being filtered
indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
• Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges.
If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or develops musty or
moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the
manufacturer.
