General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements
• Flush new cartridge at full flow for 3 minutes to purge out trapped air.
• Replace cartridge when flow becomes too slow.
Special Notices
• Installation instructions, parts and service availabilitLl, and standard warrantLl are included with the product when shipped.
• This drinking water sLlstem must be maintained according to manufacturer's instructions, including replacement of filter
cartridges.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologicallLl unsafe or of unknown qualitLl without adequate disinfection before or after
the sLlstem. SLlstems certified for cLlst reduction malt be used on disinfected water that mall contain filterable cllsts.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced bll this water treatment sllstem are not necessarilll in llour water.
• Check for compliance with the state and local laws and regulations.
• Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratorll conditions, actual performance mall varll.
Sllstems must be installed and operated in accordance with manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines.
