The manufacturer tested higher efficiency and recovery ratings using the 25 GPD TFC membranes with the Body Glove 
BG-Pure. Stringent NSF/ANSI 58 testing criteria reported lower efficiency and recovery ratings, representing the worst 
case tested scenarios. Under surrogate testing, using a storage tank with backpressure, the TDS reduction efficiency 
percentage averaged 95% and the recovery rating percentage averaged 28.5% based on manufacturer test data

NOTES: 
1. TFC refers to reverse osmosis membranes constructed from a THIN FILM COMPOSITE. 
2. The daily production rate is the volume of product water produced by the system per day and is determined by testing in accordance with the procedure 
outlined in NSF/ANSI Standard 58. 
3. System’s Efficiency rating as verified by testing in accordance with NSF/ANSI standard 58. 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. 
4. System’s Recovery rating as verified by testing in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 58. System’s 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. 
5. PRESSURE REGULATOR IS RECOMMENDED FOR FEED WATER PRESSURES EXCEEDING 552 kPa (80 psi). 
6. SMARTAP® PUSH BUTTON MONITOR. Indicator lights located on the module cover report system status. 

 

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

 

 

PRODUCT WATER FAUCETS 

BOOSTER PUMP 

Faucets will be supplied as Air Gap. 

 

A booster pump may be used if system pressure is below 242 kPa (35 psi). 

Pump should be placed near RO Module and installed in feed water line just 

before it enters Module.  

Model 4VTFC25G-PB is tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI 58 for the reduction of TDS
