EXPLANATION OF SIGNAL WORD CONSEQUENCES
CAUTION
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants due to use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality:
• 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 hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric
wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:
• Do not install near electri wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when selecting the
position to mount the filter bracket.
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read 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 filter cartridge when ambient temperatures are expected to drop below 40° F
(4.4° C).
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter 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.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic
plumbing.
• On plastic fittings, 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 fittings, as damage may occur if
overtightened.
• 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.
• Do not use pliers or a pipe wrench to tighten when installing replacement cartridge.
• Mount filter vertically in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of
installation. For horizontal installation, additional support of the filter is required (not included).
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system with water when installed.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• Do not install unit if collet is missing. Contact Water Inc. if collets are missing from any fittings.
• The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every twelve months, at the rated capacity or if there is a
noticeable reduction in flow rate, whichever occurs first.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may
result in property damage.
