SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
n Check with your state and local public works department
for plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow these
guidelines as you install the Heavy-Duty Water Filtration
Housing. Using a qualified installer is recommended.
n Be sure the water supply conforms with the Performance
Data. If the water supply conditions are unknown, contact
your municipal water company .
WARNING
Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
n It is highly recommended that a water shut-off valve be
placed directly upstream of your household filter.
PROPER INSTALLATION
n Check with your local public works department for
plumbing codes. You must follow their guides as you
install the Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System.
n Use the Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System on a
potable, safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only.
The filter cartridge will not purify water or make unsafe
water safe to drink.
n Protect the Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System and
piping from freezing. Water freezing in the housing will
damage it.
n Your Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System is rated up
tp 100 psi water pressure. If your house water supply
pressure is higher than 80 psi during the day (it
may reach higher levels at night), install a pressure-
reducing valve before the housing is installed.
n Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature of the
water supply to the Heavy-Duty Filtration System must be
between the minimum of 40°F and the maximum of 100°F.
See the Performance Data section.
n Do not install the Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System
using copper solder fittings. The heat from the soldering
process will damage the unit.
WARNING
Discard all unused parts and
packaging material after
installation. Small parts remaining after installation could
be a choke hazard.
n Do not install filter in an outside location or anywhere it will
be exposed to sunlight.
This Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
