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 and after the system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain
filterable cysts.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to
ensure optimal filter performance:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and
use of this system.
