Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, 

may result in property damage.

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

. Only the Professional Water Filtration 

System (3US-PS01) is certi

fi

 ed for cyst reduction and may be used on disinfected water 

that may contain 

fi

 lterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001.

To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage:

  • 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;

  •  Comply with all state or local plumbing codes;
  •  Install on cold water lines only;
 • 

Protect 

fi

 lter from freezing

. Drain 

fi

 lter when room temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C);

 • 

Do not

 install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 

80 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;

 • 

Do not

 install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of 

this 

fi

 lter system is 100°F (38°C);

 • The 

disposable 

fi

 lter cartridge 

must

 be replaced every six months, at the rated capacity 

or if a noticeable reduction in 

fl

 ow rate occurs.

 • 

Do not

 install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the 

position to mount the bracket;

 • Mount 

fi

 lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the 

area of installation (waste baskets, etc.);

  •  Ensure all tubing and 

fi

 ttings are secure and free of leaks;

 • 

Do not

 install in direct sunlight.

  • SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.
  • Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
  • Allow a minimum of 2” (5 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.
