System certified by IAPMO R&T

against NSF/ANSI Standards 42,

53, and 401 for the reduction

of the claims specified on the

Performance Data Sheet and at

www.IAPMO.com.

Filter is only to be used
with cold water.

Testing was performed
under standard laboratory
conditions, actual
performance may vary.

Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may
contain filterable cysts.

• All contaminants reduced by this filter are listed.
• Not all contaminants listed may be present in your water.
• Does not remove all contaminants that may be present in tap water.
• The contaminants covered in NSF/ANSI 401 have been deemed as
incidental/emerging compounds and have been detected in drinking
water supplies at trace levels. These compounds can affect some
consumers' perception of drinking water quality.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, & 401 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 42, 53, & 401.
