Water Filter Owners Manual
at the nearest COLD water faucet. DO NOT USE A HOT WATER FAUCET TO PERFORM
INITIAL SYSTEM FLUSH. The water will be blackish in color for some time - this is
normal carbon dust. Continue to run water until it runs clear and all air has been
purged. Shut the water off and let the unit sit for a while, and then flush it again. It is
not unusual for the water to appear "cloudy" for a day or so following installation -
this cloudiness is actually tiny air bubbles being purged from the carbon. This is
normal, harmless, and will clear up in a day or two.
Notes
 Even though there is filtered water in the cold water lines, the hot water heater is
still full of raw water. Through normal use, this water will be replaced with filtered
water in about 2 or 3 days. If you wish to accelerate the process, or if you have not
done so in the past 2 years, then drain your hot water heater.
 This filter system should not be used with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before and/or
after the system.
 Water filter systems should never be exposed to freezing temperatures -
severe damage to the filter and housings could result. Such damage is not
warrantied.
 After prolonged periods of non-use (such as a vacation), it is recommended that
the system be flushed thoroughly for at least 5-10 minutes before using the water.
