IMPORTANT NOTES
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 3" (7.6 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certified installer when disrupting a potable water line.
CAUTION
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.
• Before starting installation, shut off main water supply and drain pipes.
•
Protect from freezing
, remove filter 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 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.
• Any non-metallic fittings used in the installations must be of adequate rating for the line pressure.
• Where a backflow 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 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 over tightening 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 system 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 and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
•
Do not install
unit if collet is missing. Contact your sales representative if collets are missing from any fittings.
• The disposable filter cartridge(s) MUST be replaced every 12 months, at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable drop in pressure occurs.
