IMPORTANT NOTES
Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation
and use of the 3MPF101 Whole House Filtration System. Retain these instructions for future reference.
The 3MPF101 Whole House Filtration System is intended for use in fi ltering potable water in whole house
applications and has not been evaluated for other uses. This system is typically installed at the point-of-entry,
and must be installed as specifi ed in the installation instructions by a qualifi ed professional.
CAUTION
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury and/or property damage.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
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 when temperatures are expected to drop below 40° F (4.4° C).
•
Do not
install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110° F (43.3° C).
•
Do not
install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this fi lter system is
100°F (37.8°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 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.
• Where a backfl ow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to
thermal expansion must be installed.
•
Do not
use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter system, fi lters, 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.
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the bracket.
• Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.
•
Do not
leave valve-in-head models in “OFF” position for an extended period of time or use as a substitute for
main water line valve if line must be shut off for servicing.
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2” (5 cm) clear space under system to facilitate fi lter change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
To reduce the risk associated with with choking:
•
Do not
allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
To reduce the risk associated with the 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 hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric
wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:
•
Do not i
nstall near electric wiring or piping which may be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the posi-
tion to mount the fi lter bracket.
To reduce the risk of physical injury:
• Depressurize system as shown in manual prior to fi lter removal.
