Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation and use
of the CFS Series Housings. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Intended Use:
The CFS Series Housings are intended for use in filtering potable water in the foodservice industry and have not been
evaluated for other uses. These systems are typically installed at the point-of-entry, and must be installed as specified in
the installation instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Failure to follow instructions may void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2” (5 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• The filter system may be used with metallic or non-metallic piping systems. Any non-metallic fittings used for the installation must be
of adequate rating for the line pressure.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4.4°C);
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100°F (37.8°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must 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 must install a water hammer arrester.
Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic plumbing.
• On plastic fittings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fittings, as damage may occur if overtightening occurs.
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the bracket.
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months or at the rated capacity or if a noticeable reduction in flow
rate occurs.
