1. Filters cannot remove Iron, Hardness or Dissolved Solids.
2. Filters must be protected from freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
3. It is almost impossible to predict when to replace filters. Factors such as, consumption volume and water quality dictate when a filter will clog. Filters should be replaced at least every 12 months to guard against bacterial growth.
4. Depending on the source water, it is recommended that this method is used for superior filter efficiency and performance:
Sediment be removed First
Chlorine, Taste, Odor and Color be removed Second
Cysts and Lead be removed Third.
Viruses and Bacteria be removed Last.
SYSTEM OPTIONS
Recommended Installation of the TD2500 is to plumb directly into a dedicated drinking water faucet rather than directly into the cold water line.
A Dedicated Drinking water faucet may be added in a variety of colors and styles if this option is chosen. Using this option, a variety of filter combinations may be utilized, depending on the quality of water required.
If the TD2500 is plumbed directly into the cold water line it is important to note that ALL cold water will be filtered through the unit, even for washing. This will impact the life of the filter. Using this installation option, it is recommended that only Sediment, Impregnated or Granular Activated Carbon filters be used, due to the inappropriateness of using expensive filters to wash dishes. A Water Flow meter may be added to assess and project the filter life and performance.
