• This product contains stainless steel. The
manufacturer cannot guarantee against rusty water
because of the number of factors that are involved
beyond the manufacturer's control. However, the
sudden appearance of rusty water discharged
from the tap may indicate the need for service or
replacement of this product.
• Moving parts inside the tank causing a rattling noise
is normal.

water, or your water has a rusty appearance before
the installation of this unit, it is recommended to use
our water filtration system.
