General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements
Flush new cartridge at full flow for 5 minutes to purge out trapped air.
Replace cartridge when flow becomes too slow.
Special Notices
Installation instructions, parts and service availability, and standard warranty are included with the product when shipped.
This drinking water system must be maintained according to manufacturer’s instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
Do not use with water that 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.
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
Check for compliance with the state and local laws and regulations.
Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. Systems must
be installed and operated in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended procedures and guidelines.
