CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing, remove fi lter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop
below 40° F (4.4° C).
• Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110° F (43.3° C).
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of
this system is 100°F (37.8°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water pressure
exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions
exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are
uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Where a backfl ow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling
pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near system, cartridges, plastic
fi ttings or plastic plumbing.
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe
dope properties may deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may
occur if over tightening occurs.
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the
position to mount the bracket.
• Mount system in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in
the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed
and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• Do not install unit if collet is missing. Contact 1-866-990-9785 if collets are missing from
any fi ttings.
• SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is
shut off.
• The disposable fi lter cartridge MUST be replaced every six (6) months, at the rated
capacity or sooner if a noticeable reduction in fl ow rate occurs.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2" (5 cm) clear space under fi lter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
