Installation Overview
Installation Instructions.
Important Installation Recommendations
■ Check with your local public works department for plumbing
codes. You must follow their guides as you install the Water
Filtration system.
■
Use the Water Filtration system on a potable, safe-to-drink, home
COLD water supply only. The filter cartridges will not purify water
or make unsafe water safe to drink. DO NOT use on HOT water
(100°F max.).
■ Protect the Water Filtration system and piping from freezing.
Water freezing in the system will damage it.
■ Your Water Filtration system will withstand up to 125 psi water
pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than
100 psi during the day (it may reach higher levels at night),
install a pressure-reducing valve before the system.
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
GXSL03C (rev. 2) and GXSV10C are certified for cyst
reduction and may be used on disinfected water that
may contain filterable cysts. The water should be tested
periodically to verify that the system is performing
satisfactorily. Small parts remaining after the installation
could be a choke hazard. Discard safely.
■ Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers
■ Pliers and adjustable jaw wrench
■ Hand- or battery-powered drill and 1⁄ 4″ bit (saddle valve
installation)
■ Electric drill and drill bit to drill 1″–1 1 ⁄4 ″ hole (type as
required) if mounting hole is needed for faucet
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the sink, consult
a qualified plumber or installer for drilling procedures.
Special drill bits may be needed for porcelain or
stainless steel.
