* All gures given are for a water temperature of 20 °C. * This product cannot convert hard water into soft water.
* The total volume of water coming out of the main spout, drain hose is given as the run through water volume and daily volume of water used.
* Activated carbon uses powdered activated carbon and granular activated carbon.
(Note1) This period may be shorter depending on the water quality and usage environment.
(Note2)
The amount of water that can be used with Alkaline 1 to 3 and acidic water is equivalent to about 83 % of the ltration ow volume (water
purifying capacity)
.
(Note3) This value is for a removal rate of 80 % based on JIS S 3201 tests.
(Note4) This value is for a ltration ow volume of 50 % based on JIS S 3201 tests.
(Note5) This value is for a removal rate of 80 % based on JIS S 3201 Annex A tests.
(Note6) This value is for a removal rate of 80 % based on specication standard tests (JWPAS B standards) stipulated by the Japan
Water Purier Association (JWPA).
(Note7) This substance is for a removal rate of 80 % based on specication standard tests (JWPAS B standards) stipulated by the Japan
Water Purier Association (JWPA). Note that it is not stipulated as part of purication capacity.
(Note8)
This period applies when 15 liters of water are used a day. If 30 liters are used a day, the cartridge usage limit will be approximately one-half.
The period may also be signicantly less depending on the amount of water used and on its quality and pressure.
