To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Before starting installation, shut off main water supply and drain pipes.
• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
•
Protect from freezing, remove fi lter when temperatures are expected to dropbelow 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 on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this fi lter system is 100°F (37.8°C).
•
Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa) 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 use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter system, fi lters, plastic fi ttings or plastic plumbing.
• 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 overtightening occurs.
• 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.
• Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• Shut off fuel or electric power supply to water heater after the water is shut off.
• The disposable replacement fi lter MUST be replaced every 12 months at the rated capacity or sooner if a noticable reduction in fl ow rate occurs.
