Installation Overview

Important Installation Recommendations

Check with your local public works department for
plumbing codes. You must follow their guides as
you install the Water Filtration system.

Use the Water Filtration system on a potable, 
safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter
cartridges will not purify water or make unsafe water
safe to drink. DO NOT use on HOT water (100° F max.).

Protect the Water Filtration system and piping from
freezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.

Your Water Filtration system will withstand up to
125 psi water pressure. If your house water supply
pressure is higher than 100 psi during the day 
(it may reach higher levels at night), install a
pressure-reducing valve before the system.

WARNING:

Do not use with water that is

microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. These systems are certified for cyst
reduction and may be used on disinfected
water that may contain filterable cysts. The
water should be tested periodically to verify that
the system is performing satisfactorily. Small
parts remaining after the installation could be 
a choke hazard. Discard safely.
