Precautions
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION: Filter must be protected against freezing, which can cause cracking of
the filter and water leakage.
NOTE:
• A drinking water filter cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black
powder). After installation flush the cartridge for 5 minutes to remove the fines
before using the water. You should run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using
water for drinking or cooking purposes.
• The replacement filter cartridge has a service life of about 2,000 gallons or one
recreational season of use. Changes in taste, odor, color, and flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and
regulations.
