Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions,
actual performance may vary. Filter usage must comply with
all state and local laws.
Filter is only to be used with cold water. Systems certified
for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that
may contain filterable cysts. See owner’s manual for general
installation conditions and needs as well as manufacturer’s
limited warranty.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown water quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
Testing Performed under NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 and in accordance with the California Department of Health Services Drinking Water Treatment Device Program. This system
has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 & 53 for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a
concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42 & 53.
System tested and certified by NSF
International against NSF/ANSI Standard
42 and 53 for the reduction of the claims
specified on the Performance Data Sheet
and at www.nsf.org.
