Precautions
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
CAUTION:
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION:
Install this cartridge on cold water lines only. Do not use
on water lines exceeding 100º F (37.2º C). Minimum water
pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) and maximum water pressure
of 125 psi (8.62 bar) is required.
CAUTION:
When installing behind a refrigerator or appliance use
ample amount of tubing to allow removal of refrigerator
or appliance and to prevent damage to tubing, filter or
fittings. Damage to tubing, filter or fittings could cause
leakage and damage.
NOTE: Activated carbon cartridges will contain a small amount of
carbon fines (very fine black powder). A new cartridge, after
installation, should be flushed with water for 5 minutes, wait an
hour then flush another 5 minutes to remove the fines before
using the water.
NOTE: Even after the filter has been flushed to remove the fines, it is
possible that some settling of the carbon can occur and the
first trays of ice cubes or water may be discolored. Discard the
ice cubes or flush out with more water, if this is the case.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. Filter
must be maintained according to manufacturer's instructions,
including replacement of filter cartridges.
NOTE: Keep this unit clean with soap and water. Do not use spray
cleaners or insecticides near the unit.
NOTE: Do not install filter close to a heat source.
NOTE: Comply with all state and local laws and regulations
Installation Recommendations
1. Inline filters are most effective when water flows down through
the filter. Install with the inlet port at the top and the outlet port at
the bottom.
2. Install in a location convenient for filter replacement.
3. In-line filter life depends upon the water volume used and
the substances present in the water source. Manufacturer
recommends changing the filter every 6 to 12 months or when its
capacity expires, whichever comes first.
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water.
Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer's instructions,
including replacement of filter cartridges.
