• Chemicals Recirculating: Use pre-filter

Warnings and Cautions

• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• These cartridges contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation, flush the cartridge for a minimum of 5 minutes to remove all traces of the fines before using the water. It is recommended to run (flush) the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes, especially if the tap has not been used daily.
• Filter must be protected against freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
