NOTICE
99
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to
99
ensure optimal filter performance:
> 99
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of
> 99
this system.
98
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local
98
plumbing codes.
98
98
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If
99
your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install
96
a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you
>99
are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
98
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If
> 98
water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer
> 99
arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain
> 99
> 99
how to check for this condition.
> 99
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum

> 99
99
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months or
> 98
sooner if you observe a noticeable reduction in water flow rate.
> 99
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at
95
recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter performance
> 99
and cracks in the filter housing, causing water leakage or
> 99
flooding.
