SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

[] Usethe Water Filtration sustem on a potable, safe-to-drink, home COLD

water supplu onlu. Thefilter canister will not purifu the water, or make it
safe to drink.

[] Do not useon a hot water supplU(IO0°F max.).

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection beforeor after
the system.Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected

water that may contain filterable cysts.

ThisWater Filtrationsystem must be properly installed and located in
accordancewith the Installation Instructions beforeit isused.

[] Install or store where it will not beexposed to temperatures below

freezingor exposed to anUtupe of weather. Water freezing in the sustem
will damage it. Donot attempt to treat water over !00°R

WARNING: Discardall unused and packaging material after

installation. Smallparts remaining after installation could bea choke hazard.

[] YourWater Filtrationsustem will withstand up to !20 pounds per square

Mang bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated
carbon filter canisters.Theg aremost often usedto remove a chlorine taste

and odor.Theg 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)
mag be reduced bg 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.
