Due to the unique properties of the media, there are some requirements for using the
system in conjunction with other filtration or forms of water treatment.

• Do not apply phosphate or any other anti-scalant before the filter.
• Iron or other "blinding" contaminants should be removed prior to the filter.
• Do not use the filter on water with chlorine concentrations higher than 3 mg/L (ppm)
