Substance Reduction:
This system has been certified by IAPMO R&T and tested according to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and
401 for the reduction of 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 permittable
limit for the water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42, 53 & 401.
While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.

WARNING: 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.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. Filter must be maintained according
to manufacturer's instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
Replacement is US-DC4-R, which can be found at select retailers. It should be replaced every
2 months for best results. Refer to the product manual for more specific product information,
installation instructions and instructions on replacing the filter cartridge.
