•Install on cold water line only.

•Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

•Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.

•For prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended that the system be flushed

thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6 minutes before using.

•The filter cartridge has a limited service life. A decrease in water flow indicates that the cartridge should be

replaced.

•Some harmless bacteria will attack cellulose media cartridges. If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or has a musty

or moldy odor, swi t ch t o a synthet i c media cart ridge or consul t t he cartri dge manufacturer.
