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, 58, 401 & P473 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, 58, 401 & P473.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown water quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
