CBF3 PERFORMANCE DATA
Important Notice: Read performance data and compare the
capabilities of this system with your actual water treatment
requirements. It is recommended that the supply water be tested,
before installing a water treatment system, to determine your
water treatment needs.
CBF3 System with CB3 Filter Cartridge installed
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for
reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the
indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to
a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water
exiting the system, as specied in NSF/ANSI 42 and 53.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certied for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain lterable cysts.
Note: Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer’s
recommendations, including replacement of lter cartridges.
The contaminants or other substances reduced by this water
treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
