WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before and after the system.
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected
water that may contain filterable cysts

CAUTION
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 filter from freezing, remove replacement filter 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
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.
• On plastic fittings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFO thread tape only, pipe dope properties
may deteriorate plastic.
• 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 filter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of
installation (waste baskets, etc.);
• Onsure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed and full of
water.
• Onsure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• Do not install unit if collet is missing. Contact 3M Purification Inc. if collets are missing from any
fittings.
• The disposable replacement filter MUST be replaced every 12 months, at the rated capacity or sooner
if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
System tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard
42 and Standard 53 for the reduction of substances listed below.
