Performance Data (RFC-BBS

)
Important Notice
Read this Performance Data information and compare the capabilities of this sys-
tem with your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that, before pur-
chasing a water treatment system, you have your water supply tested to determine
your actual water treatment needs.
RFC-BBS
A
has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 for reduction of the substanc-
es 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.
Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.

*NOTE: Filter cartridge life varies depending on usage and water conditions
**NOTE: Flow rates measured at 60 psi (4.1 bar).
†The smaller the micron rating, the smaller the size particle the cartridge will filter. For
comparison purposes, the human hair has a diameter of approximately 70 microns.
Particles smaller than 40 microns are not visible with the human eye.
Warranty
This warranty applies to the Filter Housing. It does NOT apply to any disposable filter cartridge
where life expectancy varies with the water being filtered. This warranty covers defects in material
and workmanship only for 5 full years from the original date of delivery. Culligan will replace any
