*Note: TDS levels above 1,500mg/L must have greater than 50 psi.
Tested and certified by NSF International and WQA against NSF/ANSI Standards 42,
53 and 58 for the reduction of claims specified on the Performance Data Sheet. Conforms
to CSA Standard B483.1 – Drinking Water Treatment Systems (refer to the
Performance Data Sheet for individual contaminants and reduction
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or 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.
The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27
mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination measured as N and are certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for
water supplies with a pressure of 280 kPa (40 psi) or greater.
NSF International certified our product performance, and reviewed our manufacturing facility and procedures to assure
product consistency and integrity. They also assure that our literature accurately reflects our product capabilities. The
system and installation must comply with state/provincial and local laws and regulations.
* The K5 system with Purefecta cartridge is tested and certified by the WQA against NSF P231—Microbiological
Water Purifiers. See Purefecta data sheet for specifics. The K5 system is certified by the WQA against NSF P231-
Microbiological Water Purifiers based on the recommendations set forth in the USEPA Guide Standard and Protocol
for Microbiological Water Purifiers (OPP Task Force Report, 1987). The K5 with the Purefecta cartridge is not
intended to convert wastewater or raw sewage into drinking water.
Conforms to NSF/ANSI 58 for pentavalent arsenic reduction. See performance data sheet and Arsenic facts sheet
section for an explanation of reduction performance. The following cartridges are not NSF or WQA Certified: Arsenic
Guard, Perchlorate Guard, Chloramine Guard, and Mineral Plus.
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 0.30 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 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 the Performance Data Sheet for further information.
