Before Replacing the Water 
Filter
•  Do not allow children to have access to small 
parts during the installation of this product.
•  Do not use with water that is microbiologically 
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate 
disinfection before or after the system. Systems 
certified for cyst reduction may be used on 
disinfected water that may contain filterable 
cysts.
•  Do not install if water pressure exceeds 1 MPa. If 
your water pressure exceeds 1 MPa, 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.
•  Do not install on hot water supply lines. The 
maximum operating water temperature of this 
filter system is 37.8 °C.
•  Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when 
temperatures drop below 4.4 °C.
•  The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced 
every 6 months, at the rated capacity or if a 
noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
•  Where a backflow prevention device is installed 
on a water system, a device for controlling 
pressure due to thermal expansion must be 
installed.
•  Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free 
of leaks.
•  While the testing was performed under standard 
laboratory conditions, actual performance may 
vary.
•  It is essential that the manufacturer’s 
recommended installation, maintenance and 
filter replacement requirements be carried out 
for the product to perform as advertised.
