WARNING
Operation / Maintenance Data
These units are intended for non-commercial use. They should be used only in ambient air temperature of between 35 degrees F /
2 degrees C and 100 degrees F / 38 degrees C. Placement of these units in direct sunlight or use of electrical heating equipment on
these units must be avoided. Replace filter cartridge when and as directed in the installation / operation instructions included with
each cartridge. Replacement filter cartridges are available at retail outlets.
• These filters are not water purifiers. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that
may contain filterable Cysts.
•This unit is not designed to filter sulfur odor (rotten egg odor) caused by hydrogen sulfide. Use of carbon filters to treat sulfur odor
may intensify taste/odor problems.
•Please comply with all state and local regulations regarding the installation of water treatment devices.
•The contaminants or other substances reduced by the water filter device are not necessarily in your water.
Filtration Facts
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before
installing and using your water filter system.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that
the head of the filter be replaced every five years. If the head of the filter has been in use for longer than this period, it should be
replaced immediately. Date the top of any new head to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
DO NOT DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN OR CAST IRON SINK. If installing on an all-porcelain or cast iron sink, the faucet
must be mounted in a pre-drilled sprayer hole or through the countertop next to the sink. If the countertop must be drilled, make
certain that the area below the drilling location is free of wiring and pipes. Also, make sure that there is sucient room to make the
proper connections to the bottom of the faucet mount. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH COUNTER TOPS MORE THAN 1” IN THICKNESS
OR COUNTERTOPS MADE OF TILE, MARBLE, GRANITE, OR SIMILAR SUBSTANCE. Consult with a plumber or the countertop
manufacturer for assistance.
NOTICE
This filter must be protected from freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
Precautions: for cold water use only.
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.
