WARNING

CAUTION

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 fi lter from freezing, remove replacement fi lter 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 fi lter system is 100°F (37.8°C).

• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 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 a backfl ow 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 fi lter system, cartridges, plastic fi ttings or
plastic plumbing.

• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.

• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.

• 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 that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed and full of water.

• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.

• Do not install unit if collet is missing. Contact 3M Purifi cation Inc. if collets are missing from any fi ttings.

• The disposable replacement fi lter MUST be replaced every 12 months, at the rated capacity or sooner if a noticeable
reduction in fl ow rate occurs.
