It is essential that operational, maintenance and filter replacement
requirements be carried out for the product to perform as adver-
tised.
The filter monitor system measures the amount of water that
passes through the filter and alerts you to replace the filter. When
90% of the filter’s rated life is used, the yellow (Order) light comes
on. When 100% of the filter’s rated life is used, the red (Replace)
light comes on, and it is recommended that you replace the filter.
For models without filter status lights, replace the filter every 6
months. Use Dacor replacement cartridge AFF3.
This product is for cold water use only.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used
on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53
for reduction of the substances listed above. The concentration
of the indicated substances in water entering the system was
reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible
limit for water leaving the system, as specified in ANSI/NSF 42
and 53.
