reduced on non-indicator units.
Special Notices
‡
Installation instructions, parts and service availability, and standard warranty
are included with the product when shipped.
‡
This drinking water system must be maintained according to manufacturer’s
instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
‡

‡
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
‡
Check for compliance with the state and local laws and regulations.
‡
Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions,
actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and operated in
accordance with manufacturer’s recommended procedures and guidelines.
