IMPORTANT NOTES

The eSpring™ Water Purifi er is designed for use only with cold, bacteriologically
suitable (potable) water.
1. System tested and certifi ed by NSF International against NSF/ANSI
Standards 42, 53, 55. See Performance Data Sheet for individual
contaminants and reductions performance.
2. This Class B system conforms to NSF/ANSI 55 and contains an ultraviolet
lamp that requires replacement at intervals in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. The system is designed for the supplemental
bactericidal treatment of either treated and disinfected public drinking
water or other drinking water that has been tested and deemed acceptable
for human consumption by the state and local health agency having
jurisdiction. The system is designed to reduce normally occurring non-
pathogenic or nuisance microorganisms only. Class B systems are not
intended for treatment of contaminated water.
3. Installation of the Water Purifi er must comply with Federal, Provincial,
State, Municipal and local laws and regulations.
4. During normal operation, if the Water Purifi er has not been used for
several hours (e.g., overnight), run water through it for 30 seconds prior
to use.
5. DO NOT use with warm or hot water, as this may damage the Water Purifi er.
6. Except for lead and a few other compounds, the eSpring Water Purifi er
is NOT designed to remove soluble inorganic substances such as iron,
calcium, magnesium, nitrates, arsenic or fl uorides.
7. Plumber's thread sealing compounds should NOT be used with the
Water Purifi er.
8. DO NOT allow vegetable oil, petroleum jelly, or other lubricants, solvents,
ammonia, alcohols, acids, or strong cleaning solutions to come into

9. The Electronic Module will let you know when it is time to replace
the Cartridge.
10. THE CARTRIDGE (MODEL NO. 10-0186) MUST BE REPLACED AT LEAST
ONCE A YEAR. In areas of very poor water quality, you may see a drop in
the fl ow rate, indicating that Cartridge replacement may be needed more
frequently. Even if water fl ow rate is not affected, the Cartridge must
be replaced as soon as a year has passed or when it has fi ltered 1,320
gallons (5000 L) of water, whichever comes fi rst.
The UV lamp in the Cartridge contains mercury. Please
