To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:

• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or

after the system.

To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric wiring

or water pipes in the area of installation:

• Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when selecting the position

to mount the ﬁ lter bracket.

To reduce the risk of physical injury:

• Shut off inlet water supply and depressurize system as shown in manual prior to cartridge removal.

To reduce the risk of ﬁ re or explosion:

• Use ﬁ lter for liquid service only. Not for continuous gas service.

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.

• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.

• Protect from freezing, remove ﬁ lter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4.4°C).

• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 300 psi (2,070 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa),

you must 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.

• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near ﬁ lter system, cartridges, plastic ﬁ ttings or plastic

plumbing.

• On plastic ﬁ ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may

deteriorate plastic.

• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic ﬁ ttings, as damage may occur if overtightening

occurs.
