WARNING
To reduce the chance of scald injuries from hot water spillage during a filter change:
= You must open a hot water faucet downstream of the water heater and allow at least 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of
water to drain before removing the cartridge. Water in pipes and filter may be much hotter than the
temperature of the pipes or the surface of the filter.
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
= DO NOT use this system on water that is micro biologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
Safety Information
Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation and
use of the EcoPure Water Heater Protector Model EPWHP. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Specifications
CAUTION
To reduce risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
= Read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system.
= Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
= DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. Hot water will damage the Water Heater Protector. The maximum
supply water temperature of this system is 100°F (38°C).
= Do not install this product where it will be exposed to outdoor weather or direct sun.
= Do not install or store this product where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing. Water freezing in
the Water Heater Protector will damage it.
= The maximum operating water pressure of this system is 100 pounds per square inch. If your home water
supply pressure exceeds 80 psi, install a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) before installing the Water Heater
Protector.
= Do not solder fittings while attached to the Water Heater Protector. Soldering heat will damage the inlet/outlet
ports.
= Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fittings, as damage may occur if over
tightening occurs.
IMPORTANT
= During installation, SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER TO WATER HEATER after shutting off water
supply.
= The disposable cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate
occurs.
