Base Grille Water Filtration System
Tested and certified by NBF International against ANSI/NSF Standard
42 for the reduction of Chlorine, Taste and Odor, Particulate Class {1";
and against ANB{/NSF Standard 53 for the reduction of Lead,
Mercury, Benzene, Toxaphene, p-dichlorobenzene, and Carbofuran=
This system has been tested according to ANSl/NSF 42/53 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 ANSI/NSF 42/53,
