Precautions

      WARNING:

   Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of 

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

CAUTION:

   Filter must be protected against freezing, which can cause cracking of 

the filter and water leakage.

CAUTION:

   The rubber O-ring provides the water-tight seal between the cap and 

the bottom of the housing.  It is important that the O-ring be properly seated in the 

groove above the threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.

CAUTION:

   Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly 

repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that the bottom of all 

plastic housings be replaced every ten years.  If the bottom of your housing has 

been in use for longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately.  Date 

the bottom of any new or replacement housing to indicate the next recommended 

replacement date.

NOTE: 

•  For cold water use only.
•  Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and  

regulations.

•  The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the selected  

cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask your local water municipality 

for a copy of their water analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable 

water testing lab. 

•  After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is  

recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly.  Let water run for 5–6 

minutes before using.

•  The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service life.  Changes in 

taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the  

cartridge should be replaced.

•  Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges. 

The CP5-BBS 

is not recommended on non-chlorinated water.

  If your cartridge seems to  

disintegrate or develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media 

cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
