DESCRIPTION
The R500 is an inline filter that reduces sediment and rust particles,
reduces chlorine taste and odor.
NOTICES
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
• Install this filter on the cold water line only. Do not use on water
lines exceeding 100° F (38°C). Water pressure minimum is 25 psi
(172 kPa) and the maximum is 125 psi (862 kPa).
• Protect the unit from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
• Do not use pipe dope or similar compounds. They can ruin plas-
tic. Use Teflon tape to seal pipe thread joints.
TM
• Keep the unit clean with soap and water. Do not use spray clean-
ers or insecticides near the unit.
• Intended for indoor, non-commercial use only.
• For extended periods of non-use turn the water off and remove
the filter cartridge. Place the cartridge in a plastic bag, seal, and
refrigerate.
• Tubing and hose dimensions are based on outside diameters
(OD). For water line sizes other than those listed, consult a
plumber or a hardware store.
• Before using the water, flush the new filter for 30 minutes.
• Run drinking or cooking water per instructions prior to collecting
the water for use.
• This filter is not a water purifier and is not intended for use with
contaminated water.
• Comply with all state and local laws regarding the installation of
water treatment devices.
• An activated carbon cartridge may release a small amount of car-
bon fines (very fine black powder). A new cartridge, after installa-
tion, should be flushed with sufficient water to remove the fines
before using the water.
• The filter cartridge has a limited service life. Changes in taste,
color and flow of the water being filtered are signals that replace-
ment of the cartridge is or may soon be necessary. Cartridge
should be changed every 12 months.
• If making sweat connections, avoid exposure of the filter
housing to the torch.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced
by the water filter device are not necessarily in your water.
