You must follow these guidelines as you install the Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration System. Using a qualified installer is recommended. • Be sure the water supply conforms with the Performance Data. If the water supply conditions are unknown, contact your municipal water company. WARNING — Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. • It is highly recommended that a water shut-off valve be placed directly upstream of your Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration System. PROPER INSTALLATION This Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration System must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. • Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their guides as you install the Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration System. • Use the Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration Systemon a potable, safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridge will not purify water or make unsafe water safe to drink. DO NOT use on HOT water (100°F max). • Protect the Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration Systemand piping fromfreezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it. • Your Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration Systemwill withstand up to 100 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 is installed. • Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature of the water supply to the Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration System must be between the minimum of 40°F and the maximum of 100°F. See the Performance Data section. • Do not install the Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet Filtration System using copper solder fittings. The heat from the soldering process will damage the unit. WARNING — Discard all unused parts and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after installation could be a choke hazard. • Do not install filter in an outside location or anywhere it will be exposed to sunlight. System is Tested and Certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of Chlorine, Taste and Odor and Particulate Class I and Standard 53 for the reduction of Turbidity.
