• When first installing the unit and turning the feed water on, do so slowly to allow both filter
housings to fill with water completely. When you see filtered water flowing from the outlet
tubing you can then turn the feed water on all the way.
• When replacing filter cartridges, use filter wrench to remove housing. Do not use the wrench
to tighten. Hand tighten the housings only. Make sure not to over-tighten.
• When replacing carbon filter, discard the first five minutes worth of product water to flush
any carbon fines or particles, before using.
• Do not install where leakage or failure may cause damage to your personal property.
• Protect unit against freezing to prevent cracking of the filter housing and water leakage.
• Do not install unit where incoming pressure may be more than 80 psi or there are excessive
water hammer problems. Use HydroLogic’s Pressure Regulator ( HL 10070 ) available at
your dealer.
• Keep out of direct sunlight or high intensity lights. This will degrade the housing and fittings
over time. It is best to keep the unit in complete shade or place a cover over the unit for
protection. This will keep the unit in better condition for longer.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on top of unit.
• Replace housings every 3 years.
