Operation

The Puretec system is designed to run economically for many years, dependent on the initial installation and periodical maintenance. Flush systems for 10 minutes after any period of non-use more than 2 days. For a period of non-use of 2 weeks or more, it may be necessary to replace cartridges. Chrome Plated Surface – should only be cleaned with liquid detergent or soap and water. Under no circumstance should any abrasive or acid base cleaning agents be used.

Installation Note: A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life and may eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water supply should be turned off if no one is home/present. INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE. FAULTY OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY COVERAGE.
