Tested by Spectrum Labs, a qualified independent laboratory, against accepted industry
protocol.
Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 58 for the reduction of substances listed
above. The concentration of the indicated substances was reduced to a concentration less
than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system as specified in standards
53, 58,401 and Protocol P473.
Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water to the system that is available to
the user as reverse osmosis treated water under operating conditions that approximate
typical daily usage.
Recovery rating means the percentage of the influent water to the membrane portion of the
system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water when the system is
operated without a storage tank or when the storage tank is bypassed.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically Insafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system. This system is certified for cyst reduction and may
be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27mg/L
nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination measured as N and is certified for nitrate/nitrite
reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 40 psig (276 kPa) or greater.
This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also
known as As (V), As (+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or less. This system
reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not reduce other forms of arsenic. This system shall
be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual at the system inlet
or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic.
Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete
conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section
of the Performance Data Sheet for further information.
