•Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.

•The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the selected cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.

•After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6 minutes before using.

•The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

•Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges. The CP5-BBS is not recommended on non-chlorinated water. If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the manufacturer.

Tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 with cartridge RFC-BBS. See Performance Data Sheet in Manual for specific claims.

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.

CAUTION: The rubber O-ring provides the water-tight seal between the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important that the O-ring be properly seated in the groove above the threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.

CAUTION: Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that the bottom of all plastic housings be replaced every ten years. If the bottom of your housing has been in use for longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately. Date the bottom of any new or replacement housing to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
