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.

• 

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 filter system 

is 100°F (37.8°C).

• 

Do not install 

if water pressure exceeds 100 psi (690 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.

•  Where 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 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 overtight-

ening occurs.

• 

Do not 

install in direct sunlight or outdoors.

•  All hydro-pneumatic tanks must have an appropriate pressure relief valve installed.

• 

Do not

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

the bracket.

•  Mount filter 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.

•  Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.

•  Do not install unit if collet is missing. Contact Water Factory Systems if collets are missing from any fittings.

•  SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.

•  The disposable filter cartridge 

MUST 

be replaced every 12 months, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in 

flow rate occurs.

•  The RO Membrane cartridge 

MUST 

be replaced at least every 36 months.

           

To reduce the risk of eye injury while drilling counter-tops for faucet installation:

 

Safety glasses 

MUST

 be worn during the sink hole drilling operations.
