To reduce the risk associated with choking:
•
Do not
allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
•
Do not
use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certi-
fi ed for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain fi lterable cysts. EPA Establishment Number 070595-CT-001
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
install near electric wiring or piping which may be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the fi lter bracket.
To reduce the risk of physical injury:
• Shut off inlet water supply and depressurize system as shown in manual prior to cartridge removal.
• All hydropneumatic pressurized tanks must have an appropriate pressure relief valve installed.
To reduce the risk with back strain:
• Follow safe lifting procedures.
To reduce the risk associated with eye, skin and respiratory and digestive tract burns from Calcium Hypochlorite during installation:
• Calcium Hypochlorite (CAS 7778-54-3) granules are used for tank sanitization in this product.
• During installation, do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Wear eye and face protection. Keep out of reach of children.
• To request an MSDS relating to this product, call 203-238-8965 or visit the web at http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3m/en_us/MSDS (click
MSDS search). For emergencies, call 800-364-3577 or 651-737-6501 (24 hours).
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of water contaminated with sanitizer:
• After installation, sanitizer
MUST
be fl ushed from the system before fi rst use as directed within the installation instructions.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with household bleach:
• Read and follow manufacturers directions and cautions. Keep out of reach of children.
•
DO NOT
intermix with other chemicals.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•
Read and follow
Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and Use
MUST
comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
•
Protect from freezing
, remove fi lter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
•
Do not install on hot water supply lines
. The maximum operating water temperature of this fi lter system is 100°F (37.8°C).
•
Do not install
if water pressure excee
ds 100 psi (689 kPa).
If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must 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 must install a water hammer arrester. Contact
a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
•
Do not
use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter system, cartridges, plastic fi ttings or plastic plumbing.
• Where a backfl ow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to themal expansion must be installed.
• All hydropneumatic pressurized tanks must have an appropriate pressure relief valve installed.
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape
only
. Pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if overtightening occurs.
•
Do not
install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
•
Do not
install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the bracket.
• Mount
fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed and full of water.
•
Do not
install unit if collet is missing. Contact CUNO Tech Services (203-238-8847) if collets are missing from any fi ttings.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• The disposable fi lter cartridge
MUST
be replaced every 18 months, at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduction in fl ow rate occurs.
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2” (5.1 cm) clear space under fi lter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
