IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation and use of the GE Reverse Osmosis
systems. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Intended use:
The GE Reverse Osmosis systems are intended for use in filtering potable water in Residential applications, and have not been evaluated
for other uses. The system is typically installed at the point of use, and must be installed as specified in the installation instructions. Contact
a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to install.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

avoided, may result property damage.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Be sure the water supply conforms with the Specification
Guidelines. If the water supply conditions are unknown, contact
your municipal water company or your local health department
for a list of contaminants in your area and a list of laboratories
certified by your state to analyze drinking water.
WARNING
choking:

WARNING
ingestion of contaminants:
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water
that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #10350-MN-005.
WARNING
hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing
electric wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:
Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in path
of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the filter
bracket.
WARNING
removal.
WARNING
hydro-pneumatic tank rupture:
Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your
water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you should 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 should install a water
hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are
uncertain how to check for this condition.

before first use as directed within the installation instructions.
This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing
pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5) or arsenate) at
concentrations of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent
arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be
used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual
or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only
pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine)
is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic
to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the
Performance Data Sheet for further information.
This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component
critical to efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse
osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications,
as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and
contaminant reduction performance.
