Bi-level filtered models, regardless of supply line pressure, cannot provide adequate stream height from each bubbler when activated simultaneously. It does not apply to products which, on examination by the Manufacturer, or its agent, are found to have been subjected to accident, alteration, abuse, misuse, misapplications, corrosive type atmospheres, or abnormal use.
