substances, hardeners, salts, bacteria
and water can be separated depending
on the quality of raw water.
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.

Environmental protection

The packaging material can
be recycled. Please do not
place the packaging into
the ordinary waste recepta-
