Performance Data
Timely replacement of filter cartridge is essential for
performance satisfaction from this filtration system.
Please refer to the applicable section of your Use &
Care Guide for general operation, maintenance
requirements and troubleshooting.
This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42
and 53 for reduction of the substance listed above. 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 ANSI/NSF 42 and 53.
* Tested using a flow rate of 0.78 GPM; pressure of 60 psig; pH of 7.5 ± 0.5; temp. of
68° ± 5° F (20° ± 3° C) under standard laboratory conditions, however, actual
performance may vary. Health Claim Performance tested and certified by NSF
International
** Measurement in Particles /ml. Particles used were 0.5 - 1 microns
*** NTU - Nephelometric Turbidity units
