PRECAUTIONS
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
Protect against freezing to prevent cracking of the
filter and water leakage.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage,
we strongly recommend that the head of the filter
be replaced every ten years. If the head of your
filter has been in use for longer than this period,
it should be replaced immediately. Date the top of
any new head to indicate the next recommended
replacement date.
Turn off water supply to head without cartridge if
it must be left unattended for an extended period
of time.
