This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI standards for the reduction of substances listed above. The con-
centration 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 Standards 42, 53, 58, 401 and 473.
Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions. Actual performance may vary.
Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water to the system that is available to the user as reverse osmo-
sis treated water under operating conditions that approximate typical daily usage.
Recovery rating means the percentage of the 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.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality, without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. This system is certified for cyst reduction, and may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable
cysts.
This system 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 is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 40 psig
(276 kPa) or greater.
