SAFETY INFORMATION

Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation and use of the CUNO

MCA/APIR Series Chem-Free Iron Reduction Systems. Retain these instructions for future reference.

Intended use:

The CUNO Chem-Free Iron Reduction Systems are intended for use in reducing dissolved and precipitated iron in water in homes

and have not been evaluated for other uses. The system is intended for indoor installations near the entry point of a home water line,

and must be installed by qualiﬁ ed professional installers according to these installation instructions.

EXPLANATION OF SIGNAL WORD CONSEQUENCES

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury and/or property damage.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate

injury and/or property damage.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:

• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the

system.

To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage:

• If the home electrical system requires use of the cold water system as an electrical safety ground, a jumper must be used to

ensure a sufﬁ cient ground connection across the ﬁ lter installation piping — refer installation to qualiﬁ ed personnel.

• Do not use the Iron Reduction Filter if the wall-mounted power supply is damaged — contact qualiﬁ ed service personnel

for repair.

To reduce the risk associated with back strain:

• Follow safe lifting procedures.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritation from dust from ﬁ lter media during installation:

• Gravel and several types of ﬁ lter media may be used in this product, depending upon the application. During installation, dust

may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, and may affect lungs.

• Utilize a NIOSH-approved dust ﬁ lter mask and appropriate eye protection when handling and pouring gravel and ﬁ lter media.

• Refer to MSDS documents for further safety information.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system;

• Installation must comply with existing state or local plumbing codes;

• Protect from freezing. Drain system when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C);

• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 100 psi (689 kPa). If the system water pressure exceeds 100 psi, the installation

must use a pressure limiting valve. Contact a licensed plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water

pressure;

• Do not install system where water lines could be subjected to vacuum conditions without appropriate measures for vacuum

prevention;

• The system must be installed on cold water lines only, maximum temperature 100°F (38°C);

• When water supply is shut off, shut off fuel or electric power to water heater;

• Do not use torches or other heat sources near plastic plumbing, as damage may occur;

• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic ﬁ ttings, as damage may occur;

• On plastic ﬁ ttings, use thread sealing tape only. Never use pipe sealant or pipe dope on plastic ﬁ ttings, as damage may occur;

• Do not bend spring on ﬂ oat assembly or damage to the vent may result;

• Do not install this system in direct sunlight or outdoors without protection from precipitation.

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to plugged water lines:

• Pay particular attention to correct orientation of control valve. Water ﬂ ow should match arrow on control valve. The Inlet and

Outlet of other water treatment equipment products will vary depending on the control valve brand used.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Failure to follow instructions may result in leakage and will void warranty.
