AS3
The AS3 has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 53 for the reduction of the substances
listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in the 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 53. Conforms to NSF/ANSI Standard
53 for arsenic (trivalent and pentavalent) reduction. See Arsenic Fact section for an
explanation of reduction performance.
