NOTICE
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• The pre-filter and post filter cartridges MUST be changed every 12 months, or sooner if the rated capacity is achieved or a noticeable
reduction in flow rate occurs.
• The RO membrane cartridge MUST be changed every 24 months, or sooner if a noticeable decrease in flow or TDS reduction occurs.
• Failure to replace the filters and RO membrane cartridges at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and failure of the
filters, causing property damage from water leakage or flooding.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing, remove all cartridges when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
• DO NOT install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 100°F (37.8°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). 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. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to select/install/maintain a thermal expansion device.
• Where a booster pump is installed on the feed water inlet line, you MUST maintain and inspect the attached pressure switch regularly in
accordance with the booster pump manufacturer’s instructions. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to maintain your
booster pump system.
• Where a booster pump is installed on the feed water inlet line, you MUST install an appropriate pressure relief valve. Pressure relief valve
must be maintained and inspected every 6 months. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how select/install/maintain a pressure
relief valve.
• 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 RO system 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 and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• DO NOT install unit if collet is missing. Contact 1-866-990-9785 if collets are missing from any fittings.
• Use compatible flexible tubing with ‘push in connections’ (such as PEX tubing, PE tubing, PP tubing).
• DO NOT install with rigid piping (such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, chrome plated, or anodized tubing).
• 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 3” (6.72 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certified installer when disrupting a potable water line.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• For cold water use only.
IF CONNECTION IS MADE TO A POTABLE WATER SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM SHALL BE PROTECTED AGAINST BACKFLOW.
