•
Protect from freezing
, remove fi lter cartridge 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 100 psi (689 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you
must
install a
pressure limiting valve. Contact a professional qualifi ed installer 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 professional qualifi ed installer 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 ther-
mal expansion must be installed.
•

use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter system, replacement 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 dete-
