CARE & SAFEGUARDS 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 0.05 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 50 ppb (0.050 mg/L) pentavalent arsenic.
FILTER REPLACEMENTS 15 Carbon Block and Advanced Carbon Block Replace every 6 months* The Carbon and Advanced Carbon Blocks are replaceable activated carbon cartridges located in Stages 1 and 3. It is recommended to replace these cartridges at least every 6 months. You may need to replace more often with high water usage or high sediment levels.
NSF/ANSI 58 must be included. For the full list of contaminants filtered, scan or click here to view the AQ-SFRO2 Performance Data Sheet on Aquasana.com. < Back Next > To Table of Contents...
