Precautions

WARNING:

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe

or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after

the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on

disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

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 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.

is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water

run for 5–6 minutes before using.

life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being filtered

indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

About Your PENTEK MTBE Filtration

System

Thank you for purchasing a PENTEK MTBE Filtration System. With

only minimal maintenance, your new system will provide you with

safer, better-tasting water for years to come. The filter cartridges

should be changed after every 500 gallons of use or once every six

months, whichever comes first. Filter life will vary depending on usage

and water conditions. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water

being filtered indicate that the filter cartridges should be replaced.

US-1000 MTBE Filtration System

The US-1000 MTBE Filtration System uses two carbon filter cartridges

specially formulated to provide safer, cleaner, and better-tasting

water. The US-1000 filtration system is NSF certified to reduce MTBE,

chlorine taste & odor, asbestos reduction and cyst removal, lead,

mercury and VOC’s in drinking water (see performance data on p. 7 for

specific claims).
Lead is tasteless and colorless, and may enter your water supply

through lead pipes, lead solder, and brass fittings and faucets. The

US-1000 system has been Tested and Certified by NSF International to

reduce lead below the USEPA Action Level.

The Model US-1000 is Tested and Certified by NSF

International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction

of Taste and Odor, Chlorine, and Particulate Class I. Standard

53 for the reduction of MTBE, Lead, Mercury, VOC, Cyst,

Asbestos, and Turbidity.
