Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

n Be sure the water supply conforms with the

specificationGuidelines. If the water supply conditions are unknown, contact your municipal water company or your local health department for a list of contaminants in your area and a list of laboratories certified by your state to analyze drinking water.

WARNINGTo reduce the risk associated with choking:

•Do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.

WARNINGTo reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants:

•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. EPA Establishment #10350-MN-005.

WARNINGTo reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:

•Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the filter bracket.

WARNINGTo reduce the risk of physical injury:

•Depressurize system as shown in manual prior to cartridge removal.

WARNINGTo reduce the risk of physical injury due to hydro-pneumatic tank rupture:

•Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.

2• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must

install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.

•Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.

WARNING To reduce the risk associated with irritation from Sodium Metabisulphite during installation:

•Sodium Metabisulphite (CAS 007681-57-4) is used in a 1% preservative solution within the reverse osmosis membrane.

•To request an MSDS relating to this product call 203- 238-8965 or visit the web at http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3m/en_us/ msds (click MSDS search). For emergencies, call 800- 364-3577 or 651-737-6501 (24 hours).

WARNINGTo reduce the risk associated with ingesting of water contaminated with sanitizer:

•After installation, sanitizer MUST be flushed from the system before first use as directed within the installation instructions.

This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5) or arsenate) at concentrations

of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the Performance Data Sheet for further information.

This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.
