OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
Flow Rate: 5 gpm
Pressure Range: 25–125 psi
Temperature Range: 40°F–100°F
PRECAUTIONS
Carefully read and follow instructions.
Risk of electrical shock. If your water pipes are
used to ground your house’s electrical system,
install a No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) jumper wire (or
larger) around the filter. The jumper wire must be connected at
both ends by a pressure wire fitting or other connection that
satisfies NEC or CEC and local codes. Consult a building inspector
or licensed electrician for more information.
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 five years for clear and every ten years for opaque. 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.
CAUTION Do not use electrical heating tape on this unit.
CAUTION Clear housings may crack or craze in time causing
failure and leakage if exposed to organic solvents, such as those
found in aerosol sprays for cleaning products and insecticides.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
NOTES:
• For cold water use only.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
this water treatment device 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.
• Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Filter cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage, and
water conditions.
• The replacement filter cartridge used with this system has a
limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
• Use only OMNIFILTER replacement cartridges.
• This installation must comply with all applicable state and local
regulations.
• Use only plumber tape without adhesive backing to seal joints.
Do not use pipe compound (pipe dope), sticks, or similar
compounds with this unit; they contain petroleum derivatives
which will cause crazing and cracking of the plastic in the filter
housing.
• Use only soap and water to clean filter housing and
components.
• Do not use aerosol sprays (bug spray, cleaning fluids, etc.) near
the filter. They contain organic solvents which will cause crazing
and cracking of the plastic in the filter housing.
• After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation, it is
recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water
run for 5–6 minutes before using.
• Do not use a torch near the unit.
• Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges
(such as the TO1 or RS1). If your cartridge seems to disintegrate
or develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media
cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
• An activated carbon cartridge may contain a small amount of
carbon fines (very fine black powder). A new cartridge, after
installation, should be flushed with sufficient water to remove
the fines before using the water.
• Wear safety glasses during installation.
• Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter.
• There must be a shut-off valve before the filter.
