*Note: TDS levels above 1,500mg/L must have greater than 50 psi.
Tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 58 for the reduction of
claims specified on the Performance Data Sheet. Conforms to CSA Standard B483.1 – Drinking
Water Treatment Systems (refer to the Performance Data Sheet for individual contaminants
and reduction performance).
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.
The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station 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 are certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction
only for water supplies with a pressure of 280 kPa (40 psi) or greater.
WQA certified our product performance, and reviewed our manufacturing facility and procedures to assure
product consistency and integrity. They also assure that our literature accurately reflects our product
capabilities. The system and installation must comply with state/provincial and local laws and regulations.
* The K5 system with Purefecta Virus/Bacteria Guard cartridge is Tested and Certified by WQA against NSF
P231-Microbiological Water Purifiers based on recommendations set forth in the USEPA Guide Standard and
Protocol for Microbiological Water Purifiers (OPP Task Force Report, 1987). The K5 with the Purefecta cartridge
is not intended to convert wastewater or raw sewage into drinking water.
Conforms to NSF/ANSI 58 for pentavalent arsenic reduction. See performance data sheet and Arsenic facts
sheet section for an explanation of reduction performance. The following cartridges are not NSF or WQA
Certified: Arsenic Guard, Perchlorate Guard, Chloramine Guard, and Mineral Plus.
This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V),
As(+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may
not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free
chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic.
Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent
arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the Performance Data Sheet for further
information.
