Precautions
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION: Filter must be protected against freezing, which can cause cracking of
the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION: The rubber O-ring provides the water-tight seal between the cap and
the bottom of the housing. It is important that the O-ring be properly seated in the
groove above the threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.
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 ten years. 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.
NOTE:
• For cold water use only.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and
regulations.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the selected
cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask your local water municipality
for a copy of their water analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable
water testing lab.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is
recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6
minutes before using.
• The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service life. Changes in
taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the
cartridge should be replaced.
• Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges.
The CP5-BBS
is not recommended on non-chlorinated water. If your cartridge seems to
disintegrate or develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media
cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
