• Read this manual completely before attempting to install or use this product. If system is not maintained
and operated as specified in this manual, there is a risk of exposure to contaminants.
• Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. Actual
performance is dependent on influent water quality, flow rates, system design and application.
For optimal performance, replace your Filter Cartridge upon the first occurrence of the following:
-
Annually
-
You notice a taste or odor recurrence, or a significant reduction in flow rate
-
System LEDs turn RED (indicating rated capacity of the filter cartridge has been reached)
• Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the System.
• Individuals requiring specific microbiological purity should consult their physician.
• Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
• Installation of this System must comply with all state and local laws and regulations.
• For residential use only.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this System may not be in all users’ water.
• System to be supplied only with cold water.
• If this or any other system is installed in a metal (conductive) plumbing system (i.e. copper of galvanized
metal), the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing system. As a
result, any errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic activity
in the plumbing system can no longer ground through contiguous metal plumbing. Some homes may have
been built in accordance with building codes that actually encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances
through the plumbing system. Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material
as the existing plumbing or a grounded “jumper wire” bridging the equipment and reestablishing the
contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system must be installed prior to system use.
• Flush new Cartridges for a minimum of 10 minutes prior to use.
• Spent absorption media will not be regenerated and used. If absorption media is affected by chlorine,
influent will be treated to remove chlorine.
• DO NOT USE extra lubricants, unapproved sealants, or tools to tighten hand tighten only parts. Use of
tools on hand tighten only parts will void warranty.
• For this System to continue to perform as tested and represented, be sure to use only genuine, certified
