WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with
ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before and after the system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain
filterable cysts.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to
ensure optimal filter performance:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and
use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local
plumbing codes.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum
operating water temperature of this filter system is 100º F
(38º C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures
drop below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months or
sooner if you observe a noticeable reduction in water flow
rate.
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at
recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter
performance and cracks in the filter housing, causing water
leakage or flooding.
• This System has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42,
53 and 401 for the reduction of the substances listed below.
The concentration of the indicated substances in water
entering the system was reduced to a concentration less
than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the
system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401.
XWF or XWFE System is certified by IAPMO
R&T against NSF/ANSI Standards 42,53, and
401 for the reduction of claims specified on the
performance data sheet and at iapmort.org.
