Installation Precautions
NOTICE
• Use GFCI protected power outlet
• Do not install the system where it would block access to the
water heater, main water shutoff, water meter, or electrical
panels.
• Install the system in a place where water damage is least likely
to occur if a leak develops.
• System is intended to be installed on the cold water line ONLY.
Do not use hot water supply or feed the system with water
temperatures exceeding what is specified in the Operating
Parameters or system damage could occur.
• Do not install if your water lines are susceptible to water
hammer. Correct water hammer issues first before system
installation.
• System to be used with municipal or well water sources properly
treated and tested on a regular basis to ensure suitable and
non-adverse water conditions, including bacteriological
safe quality.
• System is intended to be installed indoors.
• Filter system must be protected against direct sunlight, rain,
moisture, freezing temperatures, frost, snow, sleet and ice.
Exposure to these elements can damage the system and lead
to water damage or damage to the electronics.
• System must be installed vertically and on a flat level surface
that is sturdy enough to support the weight of the system
while it is in operation.
• Construction of a system bypass including inlet, outlet and
bypass valves is recommended to facilitate servicing of the
system.
• The filter cartridge recommended for use with this system carries
a limited service capacity as indicated by the volumetric flow
monitor. Ineffective reduction of contaminants, changes in
taste, odors, color and/or flow of the water being filtered can
occur if filter cartridge is not changed as required.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local
laws and regulations.
• The full weight of the piping and valves must be supported by
pipe hangers or other means.
