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. EPA Establishment Number 070595-MEX-001.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal filter
performance:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water pressure
exceeds 80 psi, 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.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water
temperature of this filter system is 100º F (38º C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop
below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
•
a noticeable reduction in water flow rate.
•
lead to reduced filter performance and cracks in the filter housing, causing water
leakage or flooding.
Capacity 170 Gallons (643.5 Liters). Contaminant Reduction Determined by NSF testing.
