n Be sure the water supply conforms with the
"6,*0-0*(:054;0+,204,9. 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.
)$   To reduce the risk associated
with choking:
Do not allow children under 3 years of age to have
access to small parts during the installation of this
product.
)$   To reduce the risk associated with
the ingestion of contaminants:
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 water that may contain filterable
cysts. EPA Establishment #10350-MN-005.
)$   To reduce the risk associated
with 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.
)$   To reduce the risk of physical
injury:
• Depressurize system as shown in manual prior to
cartridge removal.
)$   To reduce the risk of physical injury
due to 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 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.
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a
water system, a device for controlling pressure due to
thermal expansion must be installed.
)$   To reduce the risk associated
with irritation from Sodium Metabisulphite during
installation:
• Sodium Metabisulphite (CAS 007681-57-4) is used in a 1%
preservative solution within the reverse osmosis
membrane.
To request an MSDS relating to this product call 203-
238-8965 or visit the web at

msds (click MSDS search). For emergencies, call 800-
364-3577 or 651-737-6501 (24 hours).
)$   To reduce the risk associated
with ingesting of water contaminated with sanitizer:
• After installation, sanitizer '%& be flushed from the
system 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.

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 has 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.
