This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic
Filtered Reduction
(also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or less. This

system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This

at the system inlet or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only

Arsenic (abbreviated As) is found naturally in some
0.00059 99%
0.001 >99%
well water. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or
0.00002 >99%
odor. It is measured by a laboratory test. Public
0.0005 98%
water utilities must have their water tested for

arsenic. You can get the results from your water

There are two forms of arsenic:
0.001 >99%
pentavalent arsenic (As(V), As(+5), and arsenate)
0.001 >99%
0.0016 99%
and trivalent arsenic (also called As(III), As(+3), and
0.001 >98%
arsenite). In well water, arsenic may be pentavalent,
0.0005 >99%
0.0046 95%
trivalent, or a combination of both. Special sampling
0.0005 >99%
procedures are needed for a lab to determine what
0.0010 >99%
Effluent/ Percent
type and how much of each type of arsenic is in the
Filtered Reduction
water. Check with the labs in your area to see if they
0.015 95%
can provide this type of service.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment systems
0.001 >99%
do not completely remove trivalent arsenic from
water. RO systems are very effective at removing
pentavalent arsenic.
• Efficiency rating is 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.
Nitrate/Nitrite Removal
This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentration 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
(275 kPa) or greater.
A free chlorine residual will rapidly convert
trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Other water
treatment chemicals such as ozone and potassium
permanganate will also change trivalent arsenic to
pentavalent arsenic. A combined chlorine residual
(also called chloramine) may not convert all the
trivalent arsenic. If you get your water from a public
water utility, contact the utility to find out if free
chlorine or combined chlorine is used in the water
system. The AO-US-RO-MB-6000 System is designed
to remove pentavalent arsenic. It will not convert
trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. This System
was tested in a lab. Under testing conditions, system
reduced [0.30 mg/L (ppm) or 0.050 mg/L (ppm)]
pentavalent arsenic to 0.010 mg/L (ppm) (the USEPA
standard for drinking water) or less. The perfor-
mance of system may be different with your instal-
lation. Have the treated water tested for arsenic to
check whether the system is working properly.
The RO component of the AO-US-RO-MB-6000
System must be replaced every 2 years to ensure the
system will continue to remove pentavalent arsenic.
The component identification and locations where
you can purchase the component are listed in the
installation/operation manual.
• Recovery rating is 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.
