Important Notice: Read this performance data and compare the
capabilities of this system with your actual water treatment needs.
It is recommended that before installing a water treatment system,
you have your water supply tested to determine your actual water
treatment needs.
ThissystemhasbeentestedaccordingtoNSF/ANSI58forthe
reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration for the
indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced
to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for
waterleavingthesystem,asspecifiedinNSF/ANSI58.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water.
Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer’s
instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
Thetestedefficiencyratingforthissystemis7.68%.Efficiency
rating means the percentage of the influent water to the
system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated
water under operating conditions that approximate typical daily
usage. The tested recovery rating is 20.1%. 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
