claiMS & notES*
notE: read this performance data and compare the
capabilities of this system with your actual water
treatment needs. it is recommended that, before
installing a water treatment system, you have your
water supply tested to determine your actual water
treatment needs.
this system has been tested according to nSF/anSi 42/53
and Protocol P231 for the reduction of the substances listed
below. 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 nSF/anSi 42/53 and Protocol P231.
*tested using flow rate = 0.5 gpm; pressure = 60 ± 3 psig;
