Systems certified forcyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.Standard No. 42: Aesthetic Effects• Chemical– Chlorine Taste and OdorTested and Certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF Standards 42 and 53 in model GE MWF for the reduction of:• Mechanical Filtration– Particulate Reduction, Class IStandard No. 53: Health Effects• Chemical Reduction– Atrazine Reduction– Endrin Reduction– Benzene and Carbofuran Reduction– 1,4 Dichlorobenzene and2,4-D Reduction– Lead and Lindane Reduction– Mercury and Toxaphene Reduction• Mechanical Filtration– Cyst and Asbestos Reduction• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this watertreatment system are not necessarily in your water.• Check for compliance with the applicable state and local laws and regulations.• Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions,actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and operated inaccordance with manufacturer’s recommended procedures and guidelines.• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Do notinstall if water pressure exceeds 120 psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi(552 kPa), you should install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbingprofessional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammerconditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbingprofessional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.•controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.GEAppliancesAppliance ParkLouisville, KY 40225geapplianceparts.com © 2010 GE Company PC61278BREPLACEMENTELEMENT43
