• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing. Drain fi lter when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C).

125 psi, 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.
