such as contamination by raw sewage. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts
performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance of the system may vary based on local water conditions. Some or all of the contaminants reduced by
this unit may not be in your water supply. See Installation and Operation Manual for further instructions on filter cartridge replacement, system installation,
operating procedures, and warranty. The maintenance instructions must be followed for the product to perform as indicated below.

EPA MCL means Environmental Protection Agency Maximum Contaminant Level as required under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
2
µg/L means Micrograms per Liter, which is equivalent to parts per billion (PPB).
3
NSF minimum percent reduction requirement. Acceptance level for this substance is based on percent reduction rather than maximum effluent concentration.
4
The EPA has not determined an MCL for this chemical.
6
Chloroform was used as a surrogate for the reduction of chemicals specified in the Organic Chemicals Reduced by Chloroform Surrogate Testing table.

Influent challenge levels are average influent concentrations determined in surrogate qualification testing.
3
Maximum product water level was not observed but was set at the detection limit of the analysis.
5
Chemical reduction percent and maximum product water level calculated at chloroform 95% breakthrough point as determined in surrogate qualification testing.
6
The surrogate test results for heptachlor Epoxide demonstrated a 98% reduction. These data were used to calculate an upper occurrence concentration, which would produce a maximum product water
level at the MCL.

Performance Data Sheet
Model WHEMB40 WATER PURIFIER
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with your actual water
treatment needs. It is recommended that, before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to
determine your actual water treatment needs. This filter system is designed to be used for the reduction of the performance claims
listed below. Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamination source,
