WATER FILTRATION SAFEGUARDS
Your Moen PureTouch®Filtering Faucet System integrates carbon block
filtration technology designed by Culligan International into a faucet
spout. This technology is fast and effective at reducing or removing
contaminants commonly found in water and is certified by NSF. The
PureTouch Filtering Faucet System and installation must comply with
State and Local laws and regulations. To ensure optimal operation of
your new Moen faucet, please read the following safeguards carefully.
MicroTech™ Filter Cartridges
•MicroTech filter cartridges will reduce :
Chlorine, Taste and Odor (MicroTech 5000, 3000, 1000)
Lead (MicroTech 5000, 3000)
Cysts (Cryptosporidium, Giardia)(MicroTech 5000)*
* The contaminants removed or reduced by this filter are not necessarily in your water.
• 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.
•MicroTech filter cartridges are designed for replacement after
dispensing 200 gallons of filtered water (approximately 3 months).
Water conditions and usage may affect filter life.
• The electronic indicator will signal when filter replacement is
necessary (see page 13).
• Use only MicroTech filter cartridges with the PureTouch Filtering
Faucet System.
• Filter flow rate = .4-.5 gpm at rated pressure (20psi minimum - 125psi
maximum).
Water Temperature
• Minimum/Maximum faucet operating temperature = 40° - 150°F.
• CAUTION: Do not filter water above 100° F.
MicroTech Filter Flushing Instructions
• New MicroTech Filter Cartridge: Allow cold water to run through a
new filter for 5 minutes to flush out any loose carbon particles. Once
these small black specks are washed out the filter is ready for use.
• Daily Use: Allow cold water to run through the filter for 10-15 seconds
prior to first use. If the filter has not been used for two days, run cold
water through the filter for 60 seconds prior to the first use.
