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 significance of drinking water compared to other possible sources of Cryptosporidium to
determine how most people become infected. The CDC-EPA guidance suggests that immunosuppressed individuals discuss their risks
with their health care provider.
This drinking water system is tested and Certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for cyst reduction. It meets
the NSF/ANSI 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 precautions when changing the filter cartridges, including wearing protective gloves, to avoid direct
contact with the exhausted cartridges.
*For complete specifications, refer to the Performance Data Sheet.
