CAUTION:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have
issued guidance to people with severely weakened immune systems who may want to take extra precautions to reduce the risk of
infection with Cryptosporidium from drinking water. This guidance pertains to people with HIV/AIDS, patients receiving
treatment for cancer, recipients of organ or bone marrow transplants, transplant patients taking immunosuppressive drugs, and
persons who have congenital immunodeficiencies.
The EPA has stated that they do not know the importance of drinking water compared to other possible sources of
Cryptosporidium to determine how most people become infected. The CDC-EPA guidance suggest that immunosuppressed
individuals discuss their risks with their health care provider.
This drinking water system is tested and Certified by NSF International to ANSI/NSF Standard 58 for cyst reduction. It meets
the ANSI/NSF standard of reducing at least 99.95%* of cysts (including Cryptosporidium), however, because this is not 100%,
immunosuppressed individuals should take the extra precaution of boiling their drinking water. According to the CDC-EPA,
bringing water to a rolling boil for one minute is the most certain approach for killing Cryptosporidium.
All individuals should take adequate precaution when changing the filter cartridges, including wearing protective gloves, to
avoid direct contact with the exhausted cartridges.
