Operating Specifications
• Pressurerequirement: 40 120 psi(2.8 8.2 bar),non shock
• Temperature: 33 100°F(0.6-38°C)
• Flowrate:0.9 gpm (3.14Ipm)
General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements
• Flushnew cartridge at fullflow for4 1/2 gallons(aboutfiveminutes)to purge
trapped air.
• Replacecartridge when flow becomes too slow.
, Protect from freezing by removing filter cartridge when temperatures are
expected to drop below 40°F(4.4°C).Donot install systems in areas where
ambient temperatures may go above IO0°F or below 40°E Do not install
on a hot watersupply.
Special Notices
Installation instructions are includedwith the product when shipped.
This drinking water system must be maintained according to manufacturer's
instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
• Donot usewith water that ismicrobiologically unsafe or of unknown quality with
out adequate disinfection before or after thesystem. Systemscertified for cyst
reduction may be used ondisinfected water that may contain filterable cysts,
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
Check for compliance with the applicable state and local laws and regulations.
Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions.
actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and operated in
accordance with manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines.
Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Do not
install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi. Ifyour water pressure exceeds 80 psi
(552 kPa).you should 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 backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for
controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.
