Replace cartridge when the indicator light flashes or water flow rate is reduced on non-indicator units.

Special Notices

Installation instructions, parts and service availability, and standard warranty are included with the product when shipped.
Thisdrinking watersystem mustbe maintainedaccordingto manufacturer’sinstructions,includingreplacementof 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 treatmentsystem 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.
