IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of property damage or personal injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow these guidelines as you install the Water Filtration system.
■Use the Water Filtration system on a potable, safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridges will not purify the water, or make it safe to drink.
■ Do not use on a hot water supply (100°F max.).
WARNING: 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 water that may contain filterable cysts.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This Water Filtration system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
■Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type of weather. Water freezing in the system will damage it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
WARNING: Discard all unused and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after installation could be a choke hazard.
■Your Water Filtration system will withstand up to 125 pounds per square inch (psi) water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than 100 psi, install a pressure reducing valve before installing the Water Filtration system.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Specifications guidelines. |

Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon filter cartridges. They are most often used to remove a chlorine taste and odor. They can also reduce other undesirable elements from drinking water supplies, such as organic chemical contaminants and lead.
NOTE: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may be reduced by taste and odor filters for a short time, but the carbon media is quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning equipment is usually required for the continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.
The Water Filtration system uses two filter cartridges.

About the water filtration system.
Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge
The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened. It has a hand-operated, spring-loaded closed lever to prevent waste. You can keep the faucet open by pushing upward on the lever to lock it against the faucet spout.
Filter Cartridge Life – Several variables determine how long the cartridges will last in your Water Filtration system. These include:
|
How much water you use. |
|
1 |
||
|
How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead, or other unwanted substance |
|
2 |
||
is in the water. |
||
|
No matter which Water Filtration system you have, you should replace the cartridges every six months, when indicated by the electronic indicator light on the base. In extremely poor water supplies, you may notice the return of the unwanted substance in your water before the six months are up. In this case the cartridges should be replaced immediately.
If the system is also for lead or chemical contaminant removal, it is MORE IMPORTANT to replace the cartridges at least every six months.
NOTE: If the water supply contains high amounts of sediments, the carbon filters may plug prematurely, reducing filtered water flow to the system faucet. Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.
Electronic Indicator Light (not available on all models) – The electronic indicator light on the base of the faucet is a six-month timer that shows you when to replace the filter cartridges. When the battery pack is first installed, the indicator light will light briefly to show that the electronics are operating. If this does not happen, the batteries may be installed backwards or the lead wires are not connected.
After about six months, the indicator light begins to flash. It is time to replace the filter cartridges. When replacing the filter cartridges, also replace the batteries in the battery pack. Two AA batteries are required.

Installation Instructions.
Important Installation Recommendations
Read entire manual. Failure to follow all guides and rules could cause personal injury or property damage.
■Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their guides as you install the Water Filtration system.
■Use the Water Filtration system on a potable, safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridges will not purify water or make unsafe water safe to drink. DO NOT use on HOT water (100° F max.).
■Protect the Water Filtration system and piping from freezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.
■Your Water Filtration system will withstand up to 125 psi water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than 100 psi during the day
(it may reach higher levels at night), install a pressure-reducing valve before the system.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. These systems are certified for cyst reduction and may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. The water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily. Small parts remaining after the installation could be a choke hazard. Discard safely.
