NOTICE
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal filter
performance:
I\X[Xe[]fccfn
use instructions before installation and use of this system.
@ejkXccXk`feXe[lj\
MUST
comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
;fefk
install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water
pressure exceeds 80 psi, you
must
install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a
plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
;fefk
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.
