Do not use with water that contains high quantities of impurities. Never place anything other than tap water, such as tea bags, juice or milk inside the pitcher. Do not use water with a temperature higher than 95 F (35 C) or lower than 33 F (1 C) through the filter. This system should only be used with cool or room temperature water.
