This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 58 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 58.
This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L
nitrate and 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.

1 While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance ay vary depending on water pressure, temperatures and
other substances, which may be found in your water.
2 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 0.050 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 at the system inlet or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pen-
tavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramines (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent
arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts Sheet for further information.
Based upon testing methods using Barium as a surrogate. All concentrations in pCi/L pico curie/L.
4 Includes Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolyca and Cryptosporidium.
5 Units are not certified on water supplies with a pressure less than 40 psi (280 kPa). A booster pump is strongly recommended.
