PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION:
Install on cold water lines only.
Min./Max. Pressure: 20 - 90 psi.
Max. Temperature: 100°F.
CAUTION:
Do not use wicking or sealer for tting connections
into the cap of the lter. Plumber tape is
recommended.
CAUTION:
This lter must be protected from freezing. Failure
to do so may result in cracking of the lter and water
leakage.
NOTE:
• For cold water use only.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and
local laws and regulations.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced
by the selected cartridge 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.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
• Please read all instructions, specications, and precautions
before installing and using this lter.
• Installation of a shut-off valve on the supply line to the
system is recommended.
• Style of ttings may vary, depending on type and size
of pipe.
• Use only plumber's tape for threaded housing connections.
• Install system after water meter or pressure tank.

WARNING:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
NOTE: An activated carbon cartridge (Taste/Odor) will contain a
small amount of carbon nes (i.e. very ne black powder).
A new cartridge, after installation, should be ushed with
sucient water to remove the nes before using the
water.
NOTE: Some air may remain in the water lines after replacing the
cartridges. This air will dissipate within a week.
