PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION:
Because of the product’s limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we
strongly recommend that the bottom of all plastic
housings be replaced every ve years for clear and
every 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.
CAUTION:
This lter must be protected from freezing. Failure
to do so may result in cracking of the lter and water
leakage.
CAUTION:
Turn off water supply to head without cartridge if it
must be left unattended for an extended period of time.
