CONDITIONS OF SALE

Purchase of any products is an agreement by the purchaser/user to hold all Sellers and manufacturers harmless of all liabilities and damages indemnify and agree to defend. The purchaser/user assumes all responsibility for the use of any product sold by International H2O Inc and its affiliates.

It is a responsibility of a Buyer to find a correct water treatment system or filters for their situation. We may offer explanations on common technologies and solutions to common problems. However we do not recommend a particular water system for a particular situation because of the lack of information such as water contaminants, usage, ability to do proper installation etc. Seller, it’s affiliates, and manufacturer(s) have no liability for damages caused by faulty water treatment products or the installation or usage of such products. Buyer agrees to hold Seller, its parent company, officers and affiliates harmless for any damages caused by improper system manufacturing, design, installation or operation.

All commercial and residential in-line systems are recommended to be installed after a flow regulator/restrictor in order to control and reduce incoming water pressure. This avoids bursting and any resulting property damages. Also, make certain that there is a strainer system placed after the Whole House and Commercial Media Systems to avoid bleeding and/or pipe clogging.

 For all products: International H2O is not responsible or financially liable for any water damage, property damage, or personal injury, direct or indirect, that may occur from normal and correct use of the products we sell, catastrophic failure of the products we sell, failure to properly connect the units to the water supply lines, and/or failure to understand and observe the proper water pressure ratings and requirements for these units. Use and install all of our products solely at your own risk. Do not expose any of these units to freezing temperatures (<33 degrees Fahrenheit) or direct sunlight (UV rays).

 International H2O has no liability toward any plumbing fees or bills nor any or all plumbing work and connecting of these units to the water supply is done at your own risk. Most International H2O products are intended for professional installation and/or professional initial setup. This is especially important when installing undersink units, all reverse osmosis units, undersink filters, water coolers, water softeners, all backwashing units, and whole house water filter systems – which are always connected to a high pressure water line. Always check all connections for leaks periodically. International H2O is not responsible for any leaks or water damage whatsoever.

 All systems must be inspected by a professional installer prior to installation to eliminate any possible assembly error, and checked for component damage, parts, and fittings, to avoid system malfunction and possible property damages.

 We are not responsible for any damages, direct or indirect, that may arise from the use or catastrophic failure of these products. Use all products at your own risk.

PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 80 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 80 psi (207 and 827 kPa), If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa): • Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

The state of California requires water treatment devices claiming health claims be tested and certified by them. Some of the products we sell may not be certified, and therefore only aesthetic claims can be made on units shipped to California.
