EXPLANATION OF SIGNAL WORD CONSEQUENCES

WARNING
Notice
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage:
• Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of
a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the filter bracket.
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
• Do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small
parts during the installation of this product.
To reduce the risk of physical injury:
• Depressurize system as shown in manual prior to cartridge removal.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury and/or property damage.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to
water leakage or flooding:
• Read and follow instructions before installation and use of
this system;
• Comply with all state or local plumbing codes.
• Install on cold water lines only.
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when room temperature
drops below 40°F (4.4°C). Do not install systems in areas where
ambient temperatures may go above 110° F (43.3° C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your
water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure limiting
valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to
check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water
hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester.
Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check
for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating
water temperature of this filter system is 100°F (38°C).
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system,
a device for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be
installed. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how
to select/install/maintain a thermal expansion device.
• Where a booster pump is installed on a water system, you must
maintain and inspect the attached pressure switch regularly in
accordance with the booster pump manufacturer's instructions.
Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to
maintain your booster pump system.
• Where a booster pump is installed on a water system, you must
install an appropriate pressure relief valve. Pressure relief valve
must be maintained and inspected every 6 months. Contact a
plumbing professional if you are uncertain how select/install/
maintain a pressure relief valve.
• Where a booster pump is installed on a water system, you must
install an appropriate pressure regulating valve and regulate water
pressure to <80psi. Contact a plumbing professional if you are
uncertain how select/install/maintain a pressure regulating valve.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool
when selecting the position to mount the bracket.
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by
other items used in the area of installation (waste baskets, etc.);
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
To reduce the risk of water leakage of flooding, and to ensure
optimal filter performance:
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months or sooner if
you observe a noticeable reduction in water flow rate.
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at recommended
intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and cracks in the
filter housing, causing water leakage or flooding.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to
reverse connections.
• Allow a minimum of 2 1/2" clear space under filter to facilitate
cartridge change.
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• For questions or concerns, please contact Customer Service
