remove chlorine odor and taste.
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:

hot water restrictors installed for other equipment
are working. (Check valves on sink faucets,
dishwashers, etc.)

If water pressure exceeds the maximum
recommended pressure (90 psig), obtain a water
pressure regulator from your Manitowoc
