PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
CAUTION
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION
The rubber o-ring provides the water-tight seal
between the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important
that the o-ring be properly seated in the groove below the
threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.
CAUTION
Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the bottom of all opaque plastic housings be
replaced every ten years. If the bottom of your housing has
been in use for longer than this period, it should be replaced
immediately. Date the bottom of any new or replacement
housing to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
