EXPLANATION OF SIGNAL WORD CONSEQUENCES
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury and/or property damage.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in property
damage.
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 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. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001
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 system bracket.
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 filter 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 filter
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 as
to 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 backflow 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 filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or
plastic plumbing.
