IMPORTANT NOTICES:

This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable treatment components critical for effective performance. It is the user's responsibility to, and 
the manufacturer strongly recommends that the user, periodically test the product water to verify the system is performing satisfactorily. See the 
test kit(s) for sampling instructions.
This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 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 280 kPa (40 psig) or greater.

This system conforms to NSF/ANSI 58 for pentavalent arsenic reduction. See Performance Data Sheet and Arsenic Facts section for an 
explanation of reduction performance.

DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY, WITHOUT 
ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.

 Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected 

water that may contain filterable cysts. 

Drink With Confidence!
