It is essential that the manufactureCs recommended installation, maintenance and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as advertised.
Seeinsert for Warranty information.
Operating Specifications
, Pressure requirement: 40-120 psi (2.8-8.2 bar), non-shock
. Temperature: 33-100°F (0.6-38°C)
• Flow rate: 0.9 gpm (3.14 }pm)
General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements
• Flush new cartridge at full flow for 4-1/2 gal}ons (about five minutes) to purge
trapped air.
• Pep}ace cartridge when flow becomes too slow.
, Protect from freezing by removing filter cartridge when temperatures are
expected to drop below 40°F (&4°C). Do not install systems in areas where
ambient temperatures may go above 100% or below 40°R Do not insta}l
on a hot water supp}y.
Special Notices
° Installation instructions are included with the product when shipped.
° This drinking water system must be maintained according to manufacturer's
instructions, including replacement of fi}ter cartridges.
• Do not use with water that is microbio}ogically unsafe or of unknown quality with-
out adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterab}e cysts.
, The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
• Check for compliance with the app}icab}e state and local lows and regulations.
• Note that while the testing was performed under standard }aboratory conditions,
actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and operated in
accordance with manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local p}umbing codes. Do not
install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi
(552 kPo),you should insto}l o pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you ore uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist you must install o water hammer arrester. Contact o plumbing
professional if you ore uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for
controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
For conditions of use, health claims certified by the California Deportment of Public
Health, and rep}acements, see performance data sheet. California Deportment
of Public Health Certification #06-183/4. The contaminants or other substances
removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users' water.
