Performance Data Sheet
Model HDGMBS4 Purification System
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with your actual water treatment needs. It is
recommended that, before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment needs. This
filter system is designed to be used for the reduction of the performance claims listed below. Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually
contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamination source, such as contamination by raw sewage. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be
used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance of
the system may vary based on local water conditions. Some or all of the contaminants reduced by this unit may not be in your water supply.
See
Installation and Operation Manual
for further instructions on filter cartridge replacement, system installation, operating procedures, and
warranty. The maintenance instructions must be followed for the product to perform as indicated below.

EPA MCL means Environmental Protection Agency Maximum Contaminant Level as required under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
2
µg/L means Micrograms Per Liter, which is equivalent to parts per billion (PPB).
3
NSF minimum percent reduction requirement. Acceptance level for this substance is based on percent reduction rather than maximum effluent concentration.

The EPA has not determined an MCL for this chemical.
5
Particulate Class I reported in particles per milliliter or mL
6
Chloroform was used as a surrogate for the reduction of chemicals specified in the Organic Chemicals Reduced by Chloroform Surrogate Testing table.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42/53 for reduction of the substances listed. 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.

Influent challenge levels are average influent concentrations determined in surrogate qualification testing.
2
g/L means Micrograms per Liter.
3
Maximum product water level was not observed but was set at the detection limit of the analysis.
4
Maximum product level is set at a value determined in surrogate qualification testing.
5
Chemical reduction percent and maximum product water level calculated at chloroform 95% breakthrough point as determined in surrogate qualification testing.
6
The surrogate test results for heptachlor Epoxide demonstrated a 98% reduction. These data were used to calculate an upper occurrence concentration, which would produce a maximum
product water level at the MCL.
