• Do not expose filters to the elements of nature. This product is designed for indoor use only.
• Do not install where exposed to direct sunlight or temperatures below 35°F / 2°C or greater than 100°F / 38°C. To protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 39°F / 4°C.

Instructions: Filter cartridge replacement

1. Turn OFF the water supply.
2. Relieve the system pressure by dispensing some water.
3. Place an absorbent cloth or towel under the cartridge to catch water that may spill.
4. Grasp the filter cartridge and rotate it a quarter-turn to the left. Gently pull down.
5. Unpack the replacement cartridge. Avoid touching the filter O-rings and filter opening as this may cause bacterial contamination of the cartridge. Remove its sanitary cap and write today’s date where shown on the label.
6. Moisten the O-rings with water.
