PRECAUTIONS

WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for sediment reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
CAUTION

• Ensure a reliable drainage system at the installation location.
• Filter must be protected against freezing and far away from heat sources, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
• The rubber o-ring provides the water-tight seal between the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important that the o-ring be properly seated in the groove below the threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.
• Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend to flush the SS filter mesh once every 1-6 months as the normal cleaning and maintenance process, and recommend that the bottom of all plastic housings be replaced every five years for clear and ten years for opaque. If the bottom of your housing has been in use for longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately. Date the bottom of any new or replacement housing to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
• Clear housings may crack or craze in time causing failure and leakage if exposed to organic solvents such as those found in aerosol sprays for cleaning products and insecticides.
• The company is not responsible for any damage to the filter, personal injury, property, or the environment caused by installation and setup. If you have any questions about this product, please contact hot-line.

NOTE

• For cold water use only.
• Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the selected cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.
•  After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6 minutes before using.
• The functional filter cartridges (to be ordered separately) used with this system have a limited service life. Chanage in taste, odor, and /or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the cartridge shoud be replaced.
• Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges. If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or develops musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
• Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using this filter.
• If you have ordered functional filter cartridge, tips that spent adsorption media will not be regenerated and used.
• Considered if adsorption media is affected by chlorine, influent will need to be treated to remove chlorine.
