Performance Data
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42
for the reduction of the substances listed at right. 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
leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42.
