Flow Rate = 0.5 gpm (1.89 Lpm); Capacity = 500 gallons (1893 L) or 6 months
Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.

Test Conditions:

Flow Rate = 0.5 gpm
Inlet Pressure = 60 psi (4.1 bar)
pH = 7.5 ± 1
Temperature = 68° F ± 5° F (20° C ± 2.5° C)

Operating Requirements:

Pressure = 30 - 100 psi (2.1 - 6.9 bar)
Temperature = 40° - 100° F (4.4° -37.7° C)
Turbidity = 5 NTU Max
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. Filter must be
maintained according to manufacturer's instructions, including replacement of
filter cartridges.
