CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow all Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing. Drain fi lter when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C).
• Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110° F (43.3°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you
must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check
your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a
water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Where a backfl ow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to
thermal expansion must be installed.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this system is 100°F
(37.8°C).
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter or plastic fi ttings.
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount
the bracket.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed and full of water.
• Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation
(waste baskets, etc).
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may
deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if over
-tightening occurs.
