please enquire as to a suitable housing. Protect the housing from freezing.

must be fitted in accordance with national plumbing product codes.

quality without adequate disinfection.

licensed plumber.

Installation Note

: A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life 

and may eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen 

circumstances.  To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly 

examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, 
plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in 

those applications where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water 

supply should be turned off if no one is home/present.  

INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY A LICENCED PLUMBER. FAULTY 

OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED 

WARRANTY COVERAGE.
