General Use Conditions
Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this
unit with your actual water treatment needs. DO NOT use this product
where water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. System certified for
cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain
filterable cysts. USE ONLY WITH COLD WATER SUPPLY. CHECK FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.
The retractable water filtration system uses a RWFFR replacement
cartridge. Timely replacement of filter cartridge is essential for
performance satisfaction from this filtration system. Please refer to the
applicable section of your Use & Care Guide for general operation,
maintenance requirements and troubleshooting.
This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for
reduction of the substance listed above. 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 ANSI/NSF 42 and 53.
