NSF: WHY IS NSF IMPORTANT?
With a mission to protect and improve human health globally, NSF is an
independent accredited organization that tests and certifies a product to
ensure that it meets the regulatory requirements necessary by the United
States as well as testing requirements for many other countries. The NSF
water certification is used as a mark of distinction for consumers to have
knowledge that the product they are using is able to safely and effectively
remove contaminants from drinking water. Our ProOne® G2.0 filter has met
the NSF/ANSI-42 standard required to help provide healthy clean drinking
water.
NSF/ANSI 42: Drinking Water Treatment Units - Aesthetic Effects
NSF/ANSI 42 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of
POU/POE filtration systems designed to reduce specific aesthetic or
non-health-related contaminants (chlorine, taste, odor and
particulates) that may be present in public or private drinking
water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 42 includes material safety, structural
integrity and aesthetic, non-health-related contaminant
reduction performance claims. The most common
technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration.
NSF/ANSI 53: Drinking Water Treatment Units - Health Effects
NSF/ANSI 53 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of
POU/POE filtration systems designed to reduce specific health-related con-
taminants, such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, lead,
volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether),
that may be present in public or private drinking water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 53 includes material safety, structural integrity and
health-related contaminant reduction performance claims. The most
common technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration.
