Notes:
(1) Tested by NSF International per NSF/ANSI Standard 58 or NSF/ANSI Standard 42.
(2) NTU is Nephelometric Turbidity Units
(3) Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water to the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water under operating conditions that approximate
typical daily usage.
(4) Recovery rating means the percentage of influent water to the membrane portion of the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water when the system is
operated without a storage tank or when the storage tank is bypassed.
Notice: This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 58 for 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 58.
Before purchasing a water treatment unit, it is recommended that you have your water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment
needs. The NSF/ANSI 58 testing were performed under standard testing conditions, actual performance mayvary with local water conditions.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. This system is to be used for
arsenic reduction only on chlorinated water supplies containing detectable residual free chlorine at the system inlet. Water systems using an in-line
chlorinator should provide a one-minute chlorine contact time before the RO system. See Arsenic Fact Sheet for additional details.
This reverse osmosis system contains a carbon pre-filter to help protect the reverse osmosis membrane from deterioration that is induced by
chlorine in the supply water. This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable treatment components critical to the efficiency of the system.
Replacement of the membrane component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same
efficiency and contaminant reduction performance. The product water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing
satisfactorily. Consult the owner's manual for further information on installation, operating instructions, component replacement, and product
warranty.
This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As (V), As (+5), or arsenate) at concentrations
of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water
supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual at the system inlet or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only
pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to
pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of Performance Data Sheet for further information.
