WQA–Performance Data Sheet
Reverse Osmosis / Activated Carbon Drinking Water Appliance
Our H3500 Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Appliances have been tested
and conform to NSF/ANSI Standard 58. The water treatment performance
for specific claims are substantiated and verified by the “Reduction
Performance” test data listed below. The concentration of the indicated
substances in water entering the appliance was reduced to a concentration
less than or equal to permissible limits for water leaving the appliance, as
specified in NSF/ANSI Standard 58. While testing was performed under
standard laboratory conditions actual performance may vary. H6000 and
H3500 are certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI Standard 58.

* This appliance has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent
arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or
less. This appliance reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of
arsenic. This appliance is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free
chlorine residual at the appliance inlet or on water supplies that have been
demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined
chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to
pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section.
WARNING! These appliances must not be installed where the water source is unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before and/or after the appliance! A
water source that is not potable relative to waterborne pathogens voids the warranty.
Operational maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for these
appliances to perform to specification as advertised.
FACTORS WHICH AFFECT THE LIFETIME AND
PERFORMANCE OF YOUR WATERMAX
®
RO
1. TYPE OF MEMBRANE: Thin-Film Composite (TFC): Up to 2,000 PPM
TDS with pressure of at least 40 psi (276 kPa). Not chlorine tolerant-
Bacteria resistant- 5.0 to 9.0 pH. Most advanced thin-film composite,
non-cellulosic- Chemically stable- Highest production rate.
2. SQUARE FEET OF MEMBRANE: The square feet of membrane and
the production of RO water are in direct proportions.
3. WATER PRESSURE: The higher the net pressure across the
membrane, the greater the quantity of RO water. A minimum pressure
of 40 psi (276 kPa) is recommended.
4. TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS: The higher the TDS, the lower the
production. Each 100 PPM represents about 1 psi (7 kPa) reduced
pressure on the membrane. Thus, 1,000 PPM reduces the effective net
pressure by 10 psi (69 kPa).
5. WATER TEMPERATURE: Colder water results in lower production.
TFC may be used at temperatures up to 113°F (45°C).
6. SURFACE COATING OR FOULING: A neglected pre-filter can allow
sediment to accumulate on the cartridge surface and impair the
necessary flow of water through the filter, thus reducing membrane life.
Also, salts can precipitate on the membrane, plugging the pores and
channels. A water softener or other types of pre-treatment installed
before the RO appliance significantly reduces this load and extends
membrane life.
7. This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no
more then 27 mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination measured
as N and is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies
with a pressure of 210 kPa (30 psig) or greater.
Our Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water appliances contain replaceable
treatment components, critical for the effective reduction of Total Dissolved
Solids as well as inorganic contaminants. Each appliance will have some or
all of the following replacement service components: sediment pre-filter,
sediment/carbon block pre-filter (H3500 only), activated carbon pre-filter,
prolonged contact filter, activated carbon post-filter, flow restrictor, and the
membrane. (Please see replacement element diagrams on the next page.)
The life expectancy of these components will vary from one water source to
another. Therefore, we recommend that you, the user, have the water
tested every six months to maintain acceptable water quality. Operational,
maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for these
appliances to perform to specification. To maintain the highest quality
water, we recommend draining the storage tank every week. Ask your
dealer about maintenance programs or monitoring devices for any of our
drinking water appliances.
