RC-EZ-4 Cartridges
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for the 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 and 53.
