• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
• Check for compliance with the applicable state and local laws and regulations.
• Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions,
actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and operated in
accordance with manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Do not
install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi
(552 kPa), you should 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.
•
controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
