HELPFULHINT: The life and performance of the filter cartridge may vary, depending on the volume
and quality of the water being filtered. An indication that your filter cartridges may need replacing is
the reduced volume of flow from the faucet, or return of offensive taste and/odour to the filtered water.
We recommend you continue to check for leaks for aday after installation.
INSTALLATION ADVICE: 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.
