WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with
hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through
existing electric wiring or water pipes in the area of
installation:
Do not

WARNING
To reduce the risk of physical injury due
to hydro-pneumatic tank rupture:
Do not
install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827
kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you
should 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 should install a water
hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are
uncertain how to check for this condition.

This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing
pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5) or arsenate)
at concentrations of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces
pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This
system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free
chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated
to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine
(combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of
trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts
section of the Performance Data Sheet for further information.
This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable
component critical to efficiency of the system. Replacement of
the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical
specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the
same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.
