higher than 100 psi during the day (it may reach

higher levels at night), install a pressure reducing

valve before the system is installed.

of the water supply to the Kitchen and Bath Main

Faucet Filtration System must be between the

minimum of 34°F and the maximum of 100°F. See the

Performance Data section.

• Do not install the Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet
