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.
• Change the disposable PreFilter and RO Membrane at the recommended interval; the disposable pre-
filter and RO Membrane MUST be replaced every 12 months or sooner.
• Failure to replace the disposable PreFilter and RO Membrane at recommended intervals may lead to
reduced filter performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water leakage or
flooding.
•
Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 33° 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 100 psi (689 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. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to
select/install/maintain a thermal expansion device.
•
Where a booster pump is installed on a water system, 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.

•
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 100 pounds per square inch (psi) water pressure. If
your water supply pressure is higher than 80 psi, install a pressure reducing valve before installing the
water filtration system.
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:
