IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
SAFETY INFORMATION
BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
Extended non-use of the Reverse Osmosis system:
■ If the system has not been used for one week or more, open the RO water faucet and allow the system to drain.
Close the RO water faucet and allow the system to regenerate the water supply.
NOTICE: To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
■ Read and follow these instruction before installation
and use of this system.
■ Installation and use MUST comply with all state and
local plumbing codes.
■ Protect from freezing, remove filter 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 if water pressure exceeds 100 psi (689
kPa). If your 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 should
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 should be installed.
■ Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources
near filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic
plumbing.
■ On plastic fittings, never use pipe sealant or pipe
dope. Use PTFE thread sealing tape only, as pipe
dope properties may deteriorate plastic.
■ Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to
tighten plastic fittings, as damage may occur if over
tightening occurs.
■ Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
■ Locate the 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 will support the weight of the
system when installed and full of water.
■ Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of
leaks.
■ Do not install unit if any collets are missing. Contact
800-952-5039 if collets are missing from any fittings
to obtain replacements.
■ Replace the disposable prefilter and postfilter
cartridges every 6 months, at the rated capacity, or
sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
■ Replace the disposable RO cartridge every 12
months, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in filtration
efficiency occurs.
Location:
The recommended location for the installation is under
the sink.
a) The power-supply receptacle for the appliance shall
be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
undercounter space in which the appliance is to be
installed;
b) There shall be an opening through the partition
between the compartments specified in (a) that is
large enough for the attachment plug to pass through.
The longest dimension of the opening shall not be
more than 1-1/2 in (38 mm);
c) The edges of the opening specified in (b) shall, if the
partition is wood, be smooth and rounded, or, if the
partition is metal, be covered with an edge protector
provided for this purpose by the manufacturer; and
d) Care shall be exercised, when the appliance is
installed or removed, to reduce the likelihood of
damage to the supply cord.
This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable
treatment component critical for effective reduction
of total dissolved solids. This product water shall be
tested periodically to verify that the system is performing
satisfactorily. See the The Water Test Kit section.
