SAFETY PRECAUTIONS



Check with your state and local public works department

for plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow these

guidelines as you install the Household Water Filtration Housing.

Using a qualified installer is recommended.



Be sure the water supply conforms with the Specifications

Guidelines. If the water supply conditions are unknown,

contact your municipal water company

WARNING:

Do not use with water that is

microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection before or after the system.



t is highly recommended that a water shut-off valve be placed

directly upstream of your household filter.

PROPER INSTALLATION

 Check with your local public works department for plumbing

codes. You must follow their guides as you install the Household

Water Filtration System.

 Use the Household Water Filtration System on a potable, safe-

to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridge will

not purify water or make unsafe water safe to drink.

 Protect the Household Water Filtration System and piping from

freezing. Water freezing in the housing will damage it.

 Your Household Water Filtration System will withstand up to 125

psi water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher

than 80 psi during the day (it may reach higher levels at night),

install a pressure-reducing valve before the housing is installed.



Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature of the water

supply to the Household Filtration System must be between the

minimum of 40

°F and the maximum of

00°F

. See the Specification

Guidelines

 Do not install the Household Water Filtration

System

using copper

solder fittings. The heat from the soldering process will damage the

unit. If making a soldered copper installation, do all sweat soldering

before connecting pipes to the housing. Torch heat will damage

plastic parts.

WARNING:

Discard all unused parts and packaging

material after installation. Small parts remaining after installation

could be a choke hazard.

 Do not install filter in an outside location or anywhere it will be

exposed to sunlight.

This Household Water Filtration System must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

The GXWH20S system using FXUSC (Rev.

2) filter is tested and certified by NSF
