Performance Data
Model ECOP40 Water Purifier
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this performance data and compare the capabilities
of this unit with your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that, before
purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to determine
your actual water treatment needs. This filter system is designed to be used for the reduction of the performance claims listed
below. Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamination source,
such as contamination by raw sewage. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain
filterable cysts. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance of this system may vary
b
ased on local water conditions. Some or all of the contaminants reduced by this unit may not be in your water supply. See
elsewhere in this owner’s manual for further instructions on filter cartridge replacement, system installation, operating proce-
dures, and warranty. The maintenance instructions must be followed for the product to perform as indicated below.
General Information
This filter improves the taste and odor and reduces many
chemical contaminants in drinking water. The faucet indica-
tor monitors the length of time the filter has been installed
and will flash amber continuously; indicating the filters and
battery need to be replaced. This system has been tested
according to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for reduction of the sub-
stances 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 and
53. The testing was performed using spiked tap water at a
flow rate of 0.74 gpm (2.8 L/min.), pH of 7.5 ± 0.5, pressure
of 60 psig, and temperature of 68 ±5°F.
Installation Requirements
Pressure Range ..................... 30-100 psig (207-689 kPa)
Temperature Range ............................. 40-100°F (5-38°C)
Service Flow Rate........................... 0.74 gpm (2.8 L/min.)
Service Life.............................. 350 Gallons (1,325 Liters)
Maintenance
Cartridges should be replaced every 350 gallons or six
months, whichever comes first. Replacement filter prices
will vary. Current pricing of replacement filter pack
ECOWPF is approximately $70.00 to $100.00.
System tested and certified by NSF International
against NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for
chlorine taste and odor, VOC, lead, Class I
particulate, and for material requirements.
