Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury and/or property damage.
NOTICE
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may
result in property damage.
CAUTION
To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury:
• At the end of useable life, dispose of this system in accordance with applicable local regulations or laws.
To reduce the risks associated with impact which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury:
• Depressurize system as shown in manual prior to cartridge removal.
To reduce the risks associated with heavy objects which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury:
• Follow safe lifting procedures.
WARNING
Read entire manual. Failure to follow all guides and rules could cause personal injury or property damage.
• Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their guidelines as you install the water filtration system.
• Your water filtration system will withstand up to 125 pounds per square inch (psi) water pressure.
• An approved 20 gallon or 40 gallon tank must be used.
• An approved post filter is recommended.
To reduce the risk associated 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 of serious injury associated with the potential ingestion of chemicals or contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• Flush RO Cartridge: Before use, you must flush the RO cartridge as specified in the installation instructions, and discard any water generated until flush is
complete. Failure to do so could cause serious injury from exposure to chemicals that can be extracted from the RO membrane during this initial flush.
• Sanitize and Flush Tank: Before use, you must sanitize and flush the hold tank as specified. Sanitizing the hold tank minimizes the risk for exposure to
contaminants. Failure to flush the hold tank with water after sanitizing could cause serious injury from exposure to sanitizer present.
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 install near electric wiring or piping which may be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the filter bracket.
To reduce the risk associated with back strain:
• Follow safe lifting procedures.
To reduce the risk of physical injury:
• All hydro-pneumatic pressurized tanks MUST have an appropriate pressure relief valve installed. Pressure relief valve must be maintained and inspected
every 6 months. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to select/install/maintain a pressure relief valve.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with household bleach:
• READ and follow manufacturer’s directions and cautions.
• KEEP OUT of the reach of children.
• DO NOT intermix with other chemicals.
• WEAR appropriate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of water contaminated with sanitizer:
• After installation and after sanitizing the hold tank, sanitizers must be flushed from the system before first use as directed within the installation instructions.
• Failure to flush the hold tank with water after sanitizing could cause serious injury from exposure to sanitizer present.
