IMPORTANT NOTES
Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to
installation and use of the AP510 Full Flow Drinking Water System. Retain these instructions
for future reference.
Intended use:
The AP510 Full Flow Drinking Water System is intended for use in fi ltering potable water in homes and has not
been evaluated for other uses. The system is typically installed under a sink using the existing faucet, and
must be installed as specifi ed in the installation instructions.
W WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury and/or property damage.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
•
Do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
•
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric wiring
or water pipes in the area of installation:
•
Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when selecting the position
to mount the fi lter bracket.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing, remove fi lter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 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, cartridges, 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.
• 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.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• The disposable fi lter cartridge MUST be replaced ever 6 months, at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduc-
tion in fl ow rate occurs.
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) clear space under fi lter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Do not crimp copper tubing.
