• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced b this water
treatment s stem are not necessaril in our water.
• Check for compliance with the applicable state and local laws and regulations.
• Note that while the testing was performed under standard laborator conditions,
actual performance ma var . S stems must be installed and operated in
accordance with manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines.
• Installation and use MUST compl with all state and local plumbing codes. Do not
install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi. If our water pressure exceeds 80 psi
(552 kPa), ou should install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if ou are uncertain how to check our water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions ma occur. If water hammer
conditions exist ou must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if ou are uncertain how to check for this condition.
•
controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
