Manufacturer-supplied items only that prove to be
defective in material, workmanship or factory

warranty: membranes, filters, O-rings, and all other

for failure to observe the following conditions:

1. The system is to be used with potable water from
a municipal water system.

2. Feed water pressure to the unit is no less than 40
PSI and no greater than 80 PSI.

3. The system is to be used on water supplies with
chlorine concentrations of 0.1 mg/L (ppm) or
less.

4. Feed water temperature to the unit must be no

The Manufacturer does not know the characteristics
of your water supply. The quality of water supplies

may vary seasonably or over a period of time. Your
water usage may vary as well. Water characteristics
can also change if the drinking water appliance is
moved to a new location. The Manufacturer assumes
no liability for the determination of the proper
equipment necessary to meet your requirements, and
we do not authorize others to assume such obligation
on our behalf.

This Limited Warranty does not cover any
Manufacturer-supplied items that are defective as a
result of the use of improper parts, equipment or
materials. This warranty does not cover alterations or
modifications of the unit, or failure of a unit caused by
such alterations and modifications.

This Limited Warranty does not cover malfunctions of
the unit due to tampering, misuse, alteration, lack of
regular maintenance, misapplication, fouling due to
hydrogen sulfide, manganese or iron, scaling from
excessive hardness, turbidity greater than 1.0 NTU,
Silt Density Index (SDI) greater than 5.0 SDI, or
excessive membrane hydrolysis due to chlorine levels
in excess of 1.0 mg/L (ppm). In addition, damage to
the unit due to fire, accident, negligence, act of God,
or events beyond the control of the Manufacturer are
not covered by this warranty.

Incidental and Consequential Damages
Limitation: The Manufacturer will not be responsible

or implied warranties or any defect in the unit,
including but not limited to, lost time, inconvenience,
damage to personal property, loss of revenue,
commercial losses, postage, travel, telephone
expenditures, or other losses of this nature. Some
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so this
exclusion may not apply to you.

of this Limited Warranty, the owner must ensure
periodic maintenance of the system is performed as
described in the literature enclosed with the system.
Neglect, improper maintenance, abuse, modification
