This Class A system conforms to NSF/ANSI 55 and CSA B483.1 for the disinfection of microbiologically
contaminated water that meets all other public health standards. The system is not intended to
convert wastewater or raw sewage to drinking water. This system is intended to be installed on
visually clear water. NSF/ANSI Standard 55 and CSA B483.1 defines wastewater to include human
and/or animal body waste, toilet paper and any other material intended to be deposited in
a receptacle designed to receive urine and/or feces (blackwaste); and other waste materials
deposited in plumbing fixtures (greywaste).
If this system is used for the treatment of untreated surface waters or ground water under the direct
influence of surface water a device found to be in conformance for cyst reduction under the
appropriate NSF/ANSI standard shall be installed upstream of the system.
Note: If there is any type of system failure with a Class A system water must be boiled before use
or consumption. System must be cleaned before use after a system failure, See In-House Water
Distribution System Disinfection section of manual.
This Class B system or component conforms to NSF/ANSI Standard 55 and CSA B483.1 for the
supplemental bactericidal treatment of disinfected public drinking water or other drinking water
that has been tested and deemed acceptable for human consumption by the state or local
health agency having jurisdiction. The system is only designed to reduce normally occurring
non-pathogenic nuisance microorganisms. Class B systems are not intended for treatment of
contaminated water.
