General Use Conditions
Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities
of this unit with your actual water treatment needs.
It is essential that operational, maintenance and filter replacement
requirements be carried out for the product to perform as adver-
tised.
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 waters that may contain filterable cysts.
This product is for cold water use only.
This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53
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 permissible
limit for water leaving the system, as specified in ANSI/NSF 42
and 53.
System tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Std 42 for the reduction of Chlorine Taste and Odor,
Particulate Class I and against NSF/ANSI 53 for the reduction of Cysts, Turbidity, Asbestos, Mercury, Lead, Benzene,
p-Diclorobenzene, Carbofuran
