To prevent costly repairs and possible water damage, we strongly recommend
periodically replacing the sumps of all plastic housings. Clear sumps should be
replaced every five (5) years and opaque sumps every ten (10) years. Housings
should never be cleaned with household chemical cleaners. Use a solution of
water and mild detergent (dish soap) to clean them.

The contaminants or substances mentioned above are not necessarily in your water.
Certain states require registration or certification for health-related claims.
Do not use American Plumber® products with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Some of the products described in this catalog contain filter components that must
be replaced periodically to maintain proper operation. Be sure to replace the filter
component whenever you notice a change in the taste or odor of your filtered water
or notice a decrease in flow. See the performance specifications for a list of the
substances reduced and reduction percentages. Specifications and availability are
subject to change without notice.

About Your Water
Hard Water
Hard water contains a large amount of the
dissolved minerals calcium and magnesium.
Hard water is very common in American
households and may have undesirable
effects on your water-using appliances,
your skin and hair, and your household
plumbing.
Sediment
Sediment can give water a cloudy
appearance. Substances such as
sand, silt, rust, and scale particles
may severely wear on plumbing
and household appliances.
Taste & Odor
While water that smells or tastes
unpleasant may not be unhealthy,
it is often undesirable to drink.
Poor-tasting water can adversely
affect the taste of your food and
beverages.
Chlorine
Many public water systems use chlorine
as a disinfecting agent to kill pathogenic
bacteria or other potentially harmful
organisms. While chlorine is important in
effectively treating water, it may cause your
water to take on a strong taste & odor.
Cysts
Waterborne protozoan cysts such as Giardia
and Cryptosporidium may be present in
some water supplies. When ingested, the
cyst-shell is shed and the organisms may
infect the intestines. Because Giardia
and Cryptosporidium cysts are resistant
to traditional disinfection agents such as
chlorine and chloramine, the organisms
may not be totally removed by municipal
water treatment.
Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs)
These and other synthetic organic chemicals,
including herbicides and pesticides, may
enter the water supply through agricultural
or industrial run-off, or as a by-product of
chlorination. VOCs are suspected of causing
certain health problems.*
Lead
Both tasteless and odorless, lead can leach
into the water supply through the corrosion
of lead pipes and solder used in older homes
and water distribution systems. High levels
of lead have been linked to developmental
delays in children and elevated blood
pressure in adults.*
Hydrogen Sulfide
Well water often emits a “rotten-egg”
odor that results from hydrogen sulfide
gas. In addition to making your water smell
unpleasant, hydrogen sulfide gas may also
corrode plumbing fixtures.
