Before
you begin installation, read this entire manual. Then, obtain
all the materials and tools you will need to make the installation.

local plumbing and electrical codes. The installation must
conform to them. Codes in the state of Massachusetts require
installation by a licensed plumber. For installation use plumbing
code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Do
not locate the unit where freezing temperatures may occur. Do
not attempt to treat water over 120 degrees F. Freezing or
hot water damage voids the warranty.

The
unit requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at
the inlet. Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125

This
system is not intended to be used for treating water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
