Before You Begin Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter system. NOTICE Precautions: for cold water use only. Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly. This filter must be protected from freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage. 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 five years.
