microbiologically-contaminated water that meets
all other public health standards. It is not intended
for the treatment of water that has an obvious
contamination or intentional source, such as raw

For use on visually clear water.
WARNING:
The filtration standards and water quality claims
WARNING:
relative to this system are based on water tests
immediately post-filter. Re-contamination of water
can occur downstream. It is important that you
take appropriate measures to ensure that all
piping, faucets, containers, and other surfaces that
may come in contact with the filtered water are
properly sanitized. Failure to properly sanitize such
instruments may result in re-contamination of water,
causing illness or death.

WARNING:
states, and other specific state and county codes
prohibit the use of saddle valves and their use is
never recommended. You must adhere to your state/
local plumbing codes. Consult your licensed plumber
if you have related questions.
DO NOT use copper tubing with the John Guest
WARNING:
Fittings provided with your Everpure filter system.
Copper tubing may appear to fit, but water leaks
will develop over time and use. If copper tubing is
required, you must use copper compression fittings
available from any hardware/plumbing supply store.
Multiple Appliance Connections: You can also connect your Everpure
filter to the refrigerator for ice and water, an instant hot water
dispenser or chiller, or a plumbed-in coffee brewer. Simply install
connection "tees" (available from any hardware/plumbing supply) in
the water line between the filter and the faucet adapter, and run new
tubing to each appliance. Multiple connections will reduce water flow
at each point of use.
NOTE:
DO NOT connect this system to a commercial ice maker. These
appliances require flow and volume beyond the design limits of
your under-sink filter system.
If connecting to a home icemaker and there is no filter faucet
connection under the sink, a flush valve is required.
For cold water use only.
Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws
and regulations.
Where local static water pressure is in excess of 80 psi (5.5 bar)
the Uniform Plumbing Code, International Plumbing Code and the
California Pluming Code require that an approved type pressure
regulator be installed and the pressure reduced to 80 psi (5.5 bar)
or less.
During prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation)
it is recommended that supply water to the system be turned off.
When restarting the system flush thoroughly. Let water run for 5-6
minutes before using.
The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service life.
Changes in taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being filtered
indicate that the filter cartridge should be replaced.
Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use only Teflon tape without adhesive backing to seal joints. Do
®
not use pipe compound ("pipe dope"), sticks, or similar compounds
with this unit. They contain petroleum derivatives which will cause
crazing and cracking of plastic components.
For installations in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult
your licensed plumber for installation of the system.
