SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ Check with your state and local public works department

for plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow these
guidelines as you install the Household Water Filtration
Housing. Using a qualified installer is recommended.

■ Be sure the water supply conforms with the Specifications

Guidelines. If the water supply conditions are unknown,
contact your municipal water company.

WARNING:

Do not use with water that is microbiologically

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.

■ It is highly recommended that a water shut-off valve be placed

directly upstream of your household filter.

PROPER INSTALLATION

Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes.

You must follow their guides as you install the Household Water
Filtration Housing.

Use the Household Water Filtration Housing on a potable, safe-to-

drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridge will not
purify water or make unsafe water safe to drink. DO NOT use on
HOT water (100˚F max).

Protect the Household Water Filtration Housing and piping from

freezing. Water freezing in the housing will damage it.

Your Household Water Filtration Housing will withstand up to 125 psi

water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than
100 psi during the day (it may reach higher levels at night), install
a pressure-reducing valve before the housing is installed.

■ Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature of the water

supply to the Household Filtration Housing must be between the
minimum of 40°F and the maximum of 100°F. See the
Specification Guidelines.

Do not install the Household Water Filtration Housing using

copper solder fittings. The heat from the soldering process
will damage the unit. If making a soldered copper installation,
do all sweat soldering before connecting pipes to the housing.
Torch heat will damage plastic parts.

WARNING:

Discard all unused parts and packaging material

after installation. Small parts remaining after installation could
be a choke hazard.

Do not install filter in an outside location or anywhere it will be

exposed to sunlight.

This Household Water Filtration Housing must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
