PERFORMANCE DATA
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI standards for the reduction of substances listed above. The con-
centration 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 Standards 42, 53, 58, 401 and 473.
Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions. Actual performance may vary.
Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water to the system that is available to the user as reverse osmo-
sis treated water under operating conditions that approximate typical daily usage.
Recovery rating means the percentage of the influent water to the membrane portion of the system that is available to
the user as reverse osmosis treated water when the system is operated without a storage tank or when the storage tank
is bypassed.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality, without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. This system is certified for cyst reduction, and may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable
cysts.
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 reduce other
forms of arsenic. This system shall be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual at the
system inlet 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 below for further information.
The compounds certified under NSF/ANSI 401 have been deemed as “incidental contaminants/emerging compounds”.
Incidental contaminants are those compounds that have been detected in drinking water supplies at trace levels. While
occurring at only trace levels, these compounds can affect the public acceptance/perception of drinking water quality.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 58 for reduction of the substances listed above. The concentration
of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the per-
missible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF Protocol P473.
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. This system is supplied with a nitrate/nitrite test kit. Product water should be monitored
periodically according to the instructions provided with the test kit.
