Filter is only to be used
with cold water.
Filter usage must comply
with all state and local laws.
Testing was performed under standard laboratory
conditions, actual performance may vary.
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
See owner’s manual for general installation conditions and
needs plus manufacturer’s limited warranty.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown water quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 & 401 for reduction of the substances listed below. The
concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or
equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42, 53 & 401.
