SAFETY GUIDES / SPECIFICATIONS

• Please read this entire manual before
installing and using your deluxe

multi-purpose water filter housing. Be sure to
follow all guides and steps carefully. Failure to

follow them 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
filter housing. In Massachusetts, plumbing

codes of Massachusetts shall be adhered to.

Consult with your licensed plumber.

• Use the filter on a potable, safe-to-drink,
home COLD water supply only. The filter

cartridge will not purify water, or make it safe
to drink. DO NOT use on HOT water (100°F,

max.). Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown

quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.

• Protect the water filter housing and piping
from freezing. Water freezing in the housing

will break it.

• Your deluxe multi-purpose water filter

housing works on water pressures of 40 psi
(minimum) to 100 psi (maximum). If your
house pressure is over the maximum, install a
pressure reducing valve in the water supply

pipe to the water filter.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

When planning your installation, first read the filter
cartridge information on page 8, and decide where
to locate the water filter housing. Then use the draw-
ings on page 4 to guide you. There are many vari-

ables to consider as you plan. Some of these are:

_" the water filter housing inlet and outlet internal
threads are 3/4" NPT.

_-" existing plumbing type (copper, threaded, etc.)

and nominal size (1/2", 3/4" etc.)

_-" tools you have and your plumbing skills
_" cost of materials needed

_" space available for installing the filter housing
Make a simple sketch of your proposed installation

and a list of plumbing materials you will need. Ob-
tain everything you need before starting the installa-

tion. Be sure you have the tools required.
