Specifications & Performance Claims
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for particulate class III reduction (5 micron to less than 15 micron)j. The concentration of the indicated substance in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the
SPECIFICATIONS
Rated Service Flow Rate @ 60 psi (414 kPa) 9.0 gpm (34.0 L/min.)
Pressure Drop @ 30 psi (207 kPa) 2 psig (13.8 kPa)
Water Pressure Limits (minimum / maximum) 30 - 100 psi (207 - 689 kPa)
Water Temperature Limits (minimum / maximum) 40 - 100 °F (5 - 38 °C)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this performance data and compare the capabilities of this unit with your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that, before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment needs. This filter system is designed to be used for the reduction of the performance claims listed below. Do not use where water is microbiologi­cally unsafe or of unknown quality, without adequate disinfection before or after the system. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance of the system may vary based on
permissible limit for water leaving the system, as spec­ified in NSF/ANSI 42. The testing was performed using spiked tap water at a flow rate of 4 GPM (15.2 L/min.), pH of 7.5 ± 0.5, pressure of 60 PSIG, and temperature of 68 ± 5°F.
Model EPWHE
local water conditions. Some or all of the contami­nants reduced by this unit may not be in your water supply. See elsewhere in this manual for further instructions on system installation, operating proce­dures, filter cartridge replacement, and warranty. The maintenance instructions must be followed for the product to perform as indicated below.
Filter cartridges should be replaced every six months. Pricing will vary. Current pricing on replacement filter cartridge EPWHEF is approximately $30.00 to $60.00 per filter element. Call 1-800-693-1138.

Before You Start
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
q Read all instructions before installing and using
your No Mess Whole Home Water Filtration System. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install. Reading this manual will also help you to get all the benefits from the filtration system.
q All plumbing must be completed in accordance with
national, state and local plumbing codes. Local code information can be obtained at your local pub­lic works department. In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and 10.00 shall be adhered to. Consult with your licensed plumber.
q Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate dis­infection before or after the system.
q The No Mess Whole Home Water Filtration System
works on water pressures of 30 psi (minimum) to
100 psi (maximum). If your house water pressure is over the maximum, install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply pipe to the filtration system.
q To condition all water in the home, install the filtra-
tion system close to the water supply inlet, and before all other plumbing connections, except out­side water pipes.
q Do not install the filtration system outside, or in
extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of the water supply to the filtration system must be between 40°F and 100°F. Do not install on hot water.
q Avoid installing in direct sunlight . Excessive sun
heat may cause distortion or other damage to non­metallic parts.
follow instructions.
