WARRANTY
ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON IN-LINE REFRIGERATOR WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
(except filter cartridges)
Warrantor: Ecodyne Water Systems, 1890 Woodlane Drive, Woodbury, MN 55125
Warrantor guarantees, to the original owner, that the Water Filtration System, when installed and maintained in accordance
with the instructions, will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of
purchase. If, within the first year, a part proves, after inspection, to be defective, Warrantor will, at its sole option, either
replace or repair the part without charge except normal shipping and installation charges. Labor to maintain the equipment
is not part of the warranty. Filters, which are expendable, are not covered by the warranty.
TO OBTAIN WARRANTY PARTS, SIMPLY CALL 1-866-986-3223 for assistance. This warranty applies only while this
product is in use in the United States or Canada.
General Provisions
The above warranties are effective provided the Water Filtration System is operated at water pressures not exceeding 100
psi, and at water temperatures not exceeding 100°F; provided further that the Water Filtration System is not subject to
abuse, misuse, alteration, neglect, freezing, accident or negligence; and provided further that the Water Filtration System is
not damaged as the result of any unusual force of nature such as, but not limited to, flood, hurricane, tornado or earthquake.
Warrantor is excused if failure to perform its warranty obligations is the result of strikes, government regulation, materials
shortages, or other circumstances beyond its control.
*THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES ON THE WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM BEYOND THOSE SPECIFICALLY
DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT THEY MIGHT EXTEND
BEYOND THE ABOVE PERIODS. THE SOLE OBLIGATION OF WARRANTOR UNDER THESE WARRANTIES IS TO
REPLACE OR REPAIR THE COMPONENT OR PART WHICH PROVES TO BE DEFECTIVE WITHIN THE SPECIFIED
TIME PERIOD, AND WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. NO WARRANTOR DEALER, AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE, OR OTHER PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO EXTEND OR EXPAND
THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY DESCRIBED ABOVE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damage, so the limitations and exclusions in this warranty may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty applies to consumer-owned
installations only.

This filter improves the taste and odor and reduces many chemical contaminants in drinking water.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for the reduction of the substances listed below.
The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less
than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42 and 53. The testing
was performed using spiked tap water at a flow rate of 0.5 GPM (1.9 L/min.), pH of 7.5 ±0.5, pressure of 60 PSIG,
and temperature of 68 ±5°F.
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. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual
performance of the system may vary based on 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 instructions on filter cartridge
replacement, system installation, operating procedures, and warranty. The maintenance instructions must
be followed for the product to perform as indicated below.
NOTE: See labels on the water treatment system for additional information.
