■
Check with your state and local public works
department for plumbing and sanitation codes.
You must follow these guidelines as you install
the Household Water Filtration System. Using
a qualified installer is recommended.
■
Be sure the water supply conforms with the
Specifications
guidelines
. If the water supply conditions are unknown,
contact your municipal water company.

PROPER INSTALLATION
■
Check with your local public works department for plumbing
codes. You must follow their guides as you install the
Household Filtration System.
■
Use the Household Filtration System on a potable, safe-to-
drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridge will
not purify water or make unsafe water safe to drink. DO NOT
use on HOT water (100˚F. max).
■
Protect the Household Filtration System and piping from
freezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.
■
Your Household 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
is installed.
■
Do not install on
HOT WATER
. The temperature of the
water supply to the Household Filtration System must
be between the minimum of 40°F. and the maximum
of 100°F. See the
Specification guidelines
.
■
Do not
install the Household Filtration System using
copper solder fittings. The heat from the soldering
process will damage the unit.
WARNING:
Discard all unused parts and packaging
material after installation. Small parts remaining after
installation could be a choke hazard.
■
Do not
