Specifications

Water Supply: 

City or well 

Service Flow Rate: 

.78 gpm (2.9 L/min) @ 60 psi 

Water Pressure:   

35 - 120 psi (241 - 827 kPa) 

Water Temperature: 

33° - 100°F (1° - 38°C)

It is essential that operational, maintenance and filter replacement 

requirements be carried out for the product to perform as adver-

tised.
The filter monitor system measures the amount of water that 

passes through the filter and alerts you to replace the filter. When 

90% of the filter’s rated life is used, the yellow (Order) light comes 

on. When 100% of the filter’s rated life is used, the red (Replace) 

light comes on, and it is recommended that you replace the filter. 

For models without filter status lights, replace the filter every 6 

months. Use Dacor replacement cartridge AFF3.
This product is for cold water use only.

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.

This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 

for reduction of the substances listed above. The concentration 

of the indicated substances in water entering the system was 

reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible 

limit for water leaving the system, as specified in ANSI/NSF 42 

and 53.
® NSF is a registered trademark of NSF International.

System tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Std 42 for the reduction of Chlorine Taste and Odor, 

Particulate Class I and against NSF/ANSI 53 for the reduction of Cysts, Turbidity, Asbestos, Mercury, Lead, Benzene, 

p-Diclorobenzene, Carbofuran
