SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■
Check with your state and local public works department
for plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow these
guidelines as you install the Heavy Duty Water Filtration
System. Using a qualified installer is recommended.
■
Be sure the water supply conforms with the
Performance
Data
. If the water supply conditions are unknown, contact
your municipal water company.
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
■
It is highly recommended that a water shut-off valve be
placed directly upstream of your household filter.
■
Check with your local public works department for plumbing
codes. You must follow their guides as you install the
Heavy Duty Water Filtration System.
■
Use the Heavy Duty Water 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 Heavy Duty Water Filtration System and piping
from freezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.
■
Your Heavy Duty Water Filtration System will withstand up to
100 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

water supply to the Heavy Duty Water Filtration System
must be between the minimum of 40°F. and the maximum
of 100°F. See the
Performance Data
section.

Do not
install the Heavy Duty Water 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
install filter in an outside location or anywhere it
will be exposed to sunlight.
