CAUTION:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have issued guidance to people with severely
weakened immune systems who may want to take extra precautions to reduce the risk of infection with Cryptosporidium from drinking water. This
guidance pertains to people with HIV/AIDS, patients receiving treatment for cancer, recipients of organ or bone marrow transplants, transplant patients
taking immunosuppressive drugs, and persons who have congenital immunodeficiencies.
The EPA has stated that they do not know the significance of drinking water compared to other possible sources of Cryptosporidium to determine how
most people become infected. The CDC-EPA guidance suggests that immunosuppressed individuals discuss their risks with their health care provider.
This drinking water system is tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for cyst reduction. It meets the NSF/ANSI standard of
reducing at least 99.95%* of cysts (including Cryptosporidium), however, because this is not 100%, immunosuppressed individuals should take the extra
precaution of boiling their drinking water. According to the CDC-EPA, bringing water to a rolling boil for one minute is the most certain approach for killing
Cryptosporidium.
All individuals should take adequate precautions when changing the filter cartridges, including wearing protective gloves, to avoid direct contact with the
exhausted cartridges.
